Programme
Laurent Montaron. To tell a Story
Invited by the ENSP, with the support of Christian Dior Parfums, the artist Laurent Montaron, accompanied by the artist-teacher Gilles Saussier and students from the school, have designed an itinerary combining photographs, objects and sound apparatuses, as part of the Rencontres d'Arles. The exhibition puts into perspective the ambivalent function of narrative: reporting facts and creating fiction.
