3.45pm - 5.30pm : Guided tour of the exhibition "Devenir" at Pavillon Populaire
In the course of his career, Peter Lindbergh elevated fashion photography to an art form, liberated women from an oppressive and unrealistic conception of beauty, and offered images that focused on being, rather than having or appearing, thereby challenging the conventions of the time. Starting with a biographical element, the journey undertaken by the young Lindbergh to "discover" himself, to become himself, the exhibition reveals how this uncompromising quest for authenticity guided his work throughout his career. The premise of this exhibition is that Peter Lindbergh was first and foremost an artist. His training as a painter and his interest in conceptual art are reflected in his photographs.
Price: Free
Meeting point: in front of the school (2 rue Jules Ferry)
