The French art scene in the spotlight
For the 180th anniversary of the invention of photography in France, fotofever has chosen to highlight the vitality of the French art scene: a brand new tour, an introductory space to the fair, thematic talks… Many initiatives dedicated to the French artists and gallerists. By its actions, the fotofever team contributes to make France a country of photography collectors.

The Hive, “starter walls” for young galleries
fotofever proposes for the second year the HIVE, a new section of the fair composed of 40 “starter walls” at a small price, allowing young galleries to participate to their first fair.
The Collector’s Apartment
It has become one of the main fotofever initiatives. The Collector’s Apartment presents a selection of photographs in a decorated interior space at the entrance of the fair. Yuki Baumgarten, Artistic Director, has imagined a new scenography around 6 themes: France, Women, Nature, Architecture, Time and the winners of the fotofever prize 2019.

fotofever, exhibits 3 photo prizes
In 2019, fotofever and the photo lab Dahinden launch the second edition of the fotofever prize, a springboard for young photography talents. It offers to each of the 3 winners: a projection in Arles, the production of their series, an exhibition in fotofever paris and then in a Parisian gallery.
