The featured artists (Jessica Backhaus, Marta Djourina, Joan Fontcuberta, Alice Pallot, Letizia Romanini, Jorma Puranen, Joost Vandebrug) explore different aspects of experimental photography, playing with abstraction, light, materiality and space while using both traditional and innovative techniques.

Thematic Tour
Mysterious, eerie, weird?
16:00 (EN)
There are works of art that unsettle us. A portrait that makes us feel uneasy, an almost creepy atmosphere, or things that are strange, out of place or simply don’t add up. Sigmund Freud described the uncanny as something that is at the same time familiar and alien. During this visit we will (re)visit and look for works in our collection that convey this sensation.
No reservation required.
