www.parisphoto.com
In 2024, Paris Photo is returning to the Grand Palais with 240 exhibitors from 34 countries. For this 27th edition, the Principal section brings together 147 galleries, 24 of which are new ones from the international scene. In the heart of the nave, the Prismes projects will spotlight large formats, photographic series, video installations and sculptures.
To celebrate the centenary of Surrealism, the American director and screenwriter Jim Jarmusch has been invited to create a thematic display and to take part in a discussion as part of the fair’s programme of public events.
A new curated section, Voices, features projects centred on the archive and the Latin American scene, as well as on eastern and northern Europe following the Cold War, under the direction of three major curators: Sonia Voss, Elena Navarro and Azu Nwagbogu.
The Emergence section, curated by Anna Planas, focuses on the contemporary scene with 23 monographic exhibitions.
In 2023, Paris Photo became the first art fair in Europe to create a Digital section. This year, the curator Nina Roehrs has enriched this section with 15 projects that ex- plore the limits of the image.
The Editions section with its 45 exhibitors bears witness to the central role played by the book in the history of photography. This year marks the return of historic books in this section with 3 specialist sellers.
The Elles × Paris Photo display, which celebrates the work of women photographers, is curated by Raphaëlle Stopin, director of the Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie and former artistic director of the Festival de Hyères. Elles × Paris Photo was devised in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and with the support of Kering’s Women in Motion programme and showcases women in the arts and culture.
The return to the Grand Palais also provides an opportunity to display an en- semble of works by Lithuanian photographs from the collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Centre Pompidou and the Lithuanian Photographers Associa- tion. This scene, little known to the general public, can be discovered in the Salon d’Honneur.
