When words and images respond

Round table The Word and the Image in Oppède dans le cadre du Bicentenaire de la Photographie

The round table The Word and the Image questions the way in which words and images respond to each other to show reality.

This meeting brings together two artists with different practices, a writer and a photographer, accompanied by their editor.

Between writing, photography and publishing, the speakers will compare their views on creation, the visible, the invisible and the book as a trace of these thoughts in motion.

Création Mots, images & perceptions
 

Exploring what art makes visible

“Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible”: this thought by Paul Klee opens the dialogue between the various artistic practices present during the meeting.

How can the verb shed light on what the image of the world barely shows? On the other hand, what does reality reveal for the photographer's eye?

Between ambiguity, telescoping and crest lines, the discussion invites us to think of the word for the image and the image for the word.

Invited Écrivain, photographe & éditrice
