Strange years when we’ve gone from the drawn-out, suspended time of lockdowns to witnessing a brutal war at Europe’s doorstep. Are there any signs of a break? Any moments when we can catch our breath and take time out to think, to decipher and to explore the world around us? That is what the Rencontres de la Photographie offers. The festival will go on this year— hopefully without Covid restrictions—to show the best photography of our time. The 2022 festival will offer time: time to explore the bodies of men and women with over 160 artists, time for dance, the time of years that distort or beautify the gaze of the other. It will offer the time of experience, to explore the origins of man. It will reread colonial history and the struggles of the Amerindians, Sioux and Mapuche to end the plundering of their cultures. The 2022 festival will be an exceptional moment, linked to the day’s most burning issue: the violence to which Lee Miller, more photographer than muse, bore witness will feature in an exceptional exhibition, as well as in the Red Cross collection show. It will demonstrate that while the world has never known peace, at the same time, women and men have always worked to achieve it. Photography has never been so strong and powerful. A new generation is emerging, like those that have explored the world at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie for 40 years. Together we will celebrate this anniversary, so full of talent and promise. The City of Arles is more than ever dedicated to the special moments when we look at creation, intelligence and the world in living heritage sites, the settings of a world in continuous exploration. In this regard, I salute the festival’s partners, who continue to support this major summer event year after year. This year, the residents of Arles will be the special guests of this international event. They will again benefit from free admission. Despite the restrictions, over 110,000 visitors came to the festival in 2021. Under the leadership of Christoph Wiesner, Aurélie de Lanlay and their team, in 2022 the Rencontres de la Photographie will be a place of exploration and experimentation. Above all it will give viewers a chance to recenter themselves, to stand in front of photographs, silently or not, to find their own place and feelings. We hope they will think of a bold, bright exhibition designer, the sadly missed Olivier Etcheverry, who worked for the Rencontres d’Arles for over 20 years. Time does not stand still in Arles. Our stones, which are incessantly reborn and enrich the gaze, prove it. Arles is where photographers meet and engage in stormy or serious debates. It is where the well-named forum was born where images of the world tell endless stories through awards, discoveries, laughter and reunions. Yes, the 21st century is a grave time. But the strength of the festival, created before photography was considered a major art form, lies in making the act of looking a celebration, the image a testimony and technique a questioning. I am delighted to see that this year so many events, partners and initiatives will supplement the festival’s 40 exhibitions. All that will be the beating heart of an image capital that we want to continue developing. So, allow me to wish you a powerful, profound experience, that gathers us around images of human beings brought together in Arles, which this year is the capital of a re-found humanity. 4 WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT Hubert Védrine President of the Rencontres d’Arles The 52nd Rencontres d’Arles was a success despite the health crisis. Attendance surpassed our highest hopes. We would like to thank our faithful partners, whose support in the past two years allowed us to bring all our projects to fruition. We are delighted to welcome you to the 53rd Rencontres d’Arles, with a wide variety of 40 exhibitions as well as those offered by Grand Arles Express on the program. The Rencontres is a destination: first, the city of Arles, of course, but also a whole region across which the wind of photography blows. In these unnerving times, the festival takes its role as a social player to heart more than ever by putting unemployed people to work as reception staff. We are also strengthening our social responsibility commitment by joining the Collectif des Festivals Écoresponsables et Solidaires en région Sud (COFEES). Our eco-responsible approach had already taken shape with, among other things, recycling our exhibition sets year after year. Above all, I would like to salute the memory of Olivier Etcheverry, who died on March 3. He was the Rencontres d’Arles exhibition designer in 1986 and 1987 and from 2002 to 2022. With elegant modesty and joyful generosity, Olivier embodied the soul and the values upheld by the festival. He reinvented the photography exhibition with bold, innovative installations. He loved Arles and showed the city in its best light by staging exhibitions in unlikely or forgotten places. He occupied spaces; he now lives in the hearts of the festival’s team. The 53rd Rencontres d’Arles is dedicated to him. The Rencontres d’Arles would like to thank its sponsors and private partners for their generous support and continuously renewed trust. This year, the festival is delighted to welcome Pernod Ricard and unveil an artistic mentorship project between two multidisciplinary artists. The Rencontres d’Arles warmly thanks its long- standing partners: LUMA; BMW France, with its new BMW ART MAKERS program; SNCF Gares & Connexions; Kering, which strengthens and prolongs its commitment to women photographers through Women In Motion; the Fondation Jan Michalski pour l'Écriture et la Littérature; the Prix Pictet; Lët’z Arles (Luxembourg); the Louis Roederer Foundation; the Swiss Confederation; Éditions Louis Vuitton; Tectona; Malongo; Devialet; and many other precious sources of support for the creation and dissemination of art. The festival welcomes EURAZEO, which backs the educational program “A Year in Images”. Lastly, the Rencontres d’Arles thanks its media partners, which convey the festival’s image to all: France Culture, ARTE, Konbini, LCI, Le Point and Madame Figaro. 5 VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE, A SUMMER REVEALED Christoph Wiesner Director of the Rencontres d’Arles Saying that the summer of 2022 will be one of revelations seems almost like stating the obvious. How can we be made to see what is staring us in the face, but takes so long to appear, as if the revelation could only be a forced birth? Photography, photographers and artists who use the medium are there to remind us of what we want to neither hear nor see. Yet, as Emanuele uploads/Geographie/ z-cata-logo-arles-2022press-kit.pdf
