PhotoSaintGermain - 15th edition  Annual Photography Festival  5-28 November, 2026

Held from 5 to 28 November 2026 in the heart of Paris, in the emblematic Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, PhotoSaintGermain is an annual festival dedicated to promoting photographic creation, directed by Aurélia Marcadier. The festival offers a free, open-access exhibition trail across a selection of museums, cultural centres, galleries and bookshops on the Left Bank. Its programme brings together a rich and eclectic selection of exhibitions presented by participating galleries, alongside original exhibitions and new projects conceived and produced by the festival itself. With its diverse photographic programme, PhotoSaintGermain has become one of the highlights of the Parisian cultural calendar in November. Complementing the exhibitions, the festival also offers a programme of events, including talks, screenings, book signings and studio visits, bringing together a wide range of figures from the contemporary photography scene. It welcomes a broad audience, from photography professionals and collectors to gallery- and museum-goers. Métamorphoses - © Martin Parr Highlights Alongside exhibitions presented by partner galleries and institutions, the festival also features exclusive exhibitions and original projects. This year, PhotoSaintGermain presents 12 new productions and co-productions. Musée d’histoire de la médecine, Université Paris Cité Michel Butor, portrait ultrasensible The exhibition explores the poetic and photographic dimensions of the work of Michel Butor, poet, novelist, teacher, essayist and art critic, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. A selection of his artist's books will be presented in dialogue with the collections of the university libraries and the Musée d’Histoire de la Médecine. Maison d’Auguste Comte Pierre‑Jérôme Jehel The result of a photographic residency by Pierre-Jérôme Jehel at the museum, this exhibition brings contemporary artistic creations into dialogue with the archival collections of the Maison d’Auguste Comte. At the intersection of scientific observation and sensory perception, it explores photography as a space of memory, presence and reflection. Musée Eugène Delacroix  Karen Knorr This year, PhotoSaintGermain presents Karen Knorr’s work in an unprecedented dialogue with the pictorial world of Eugène Delacroix. Through photographs of heritage sites inhabited by majestic animal figures, the artist questions the divide between nature and culture while exploring themes of myth and belief.

Bringing together photography, cartography and publishing, the exhibition examines representations of so-called “sensitive” urban territories and questions the boundaries between lived space, perceived space and administrated space. Hôtel La Louisiane ROOM SERVICE  Guest curator: Martha Kirszenbaum For its fifth edition, the festival has invited curator Martha Kirszenbaum to develop a carte blanche exploring the theme of counterculture, in keeping with the spirit of Hôtel La Louisiane. Mairie du 7e arr. Musée de l’armée — Hôtel national des Invalides  Chloe Sharrock  Curator: Lucie Moriceau‐Chastagner  The exhibition presents work by Chloe Sharrock produced during the third photographic residency organised by the Musée de l’Armée. From traces of war in the forests of Verdun to the ruins of the Maginot Line, the artist develops a graphic and photographic exploration of the imprint of memory. Through a collection of drawings, landscapes, military memorabilia and faces, her work speaks of past and present, and of the many conflicts that run through human history. Institut nationale des jeunes aveugles  Des aveugles, The INJA Photographic Collection Curator: Léa Miranda For this exhibition, the Institut national des jeunes aveugles is exceptionally opening its photographic archives, revisiting more than two centuries of history in the field of accessibility. The project highlights the distinctive role of this pioneering institution in supporting blind and visually impaired people, while questioning the place of photography in the representation of people with visual impairments. With the support of the Fondation Antoine de Galbert. Galerie du Crous × Cnap Curators: Pascal Beausse et Aurélia Marcadier This new exhibition, organised in partnership with the Centre national des arts plastiques at the Galerie du Crous, presents works by a selection of recipients of the documentary photography grant. Galerie VU - Park Chan-wook, Face 16, 2023. ©Park Chan-wook Musée de Minéralogie de l’École des Mines de Paris Laure Winants This exhibition brings the photographic research and artistic practice of Laure Winants into dialogue with the museum’s exceptional mineral collections. Through this encounter between art and science, PhotoSaintGermain celebrates emerging artistic practices and builds bridges between disciplines. With the support of the Fondation Louis Roederer and Tara Océan. Galerie Le Minotaure Marek Piasecki, A Friday Person Curators: Valérie Fougeirol & Rafał Lewandowski This major exhibition presents the work of Marek Piasecki, a leading Polish Surrealist artist and former member of the Second Krakow Group. It offers an opportunity to discover the strange abstract photograms, dolls and miniatures he created in the seclusion of his studio, whose windows were covered, where he worked at night. These works can be seen as photographic records of his own moods. In partnership with Un Week-end à l’Est. Quai de Solférino / Mairie de Paris Denise Colomb This exhibition highlights the vision of Denise Colomb (1902–2004). Closely connected to the artistic circles of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, she photographed many of the creative figures of her time. Her portraits and documentary photographs reveal her sensitivity and attentive eye for both people and places. In partnership with the MPP. Librairie Polonaise Carte Blanche à Rust Publishing At the invitation of PhotoSaintGermain and in partnership with Un Week-end à l’Est, publishing house RUST Publishing presents a selection of its latest books, alongside prints from Tomasz Kawecki’s previously unseen series Flux, shown alongside images by Jakub Szachnowski from the project The Proof.

Henri Chartier exhibition of Phillippe Hortala's ~Here Comes Summer~ September 14- Octber 2026.

 Hortalal's work on display brings into perspective his view; the  chaos of experience focusing on color and construction descripted in the abstraction of his compositions. See details below.  

vue exposition Philippe Hortala voila l’été crédit photo Didier Michalet [EXPOSITION] PHILIPPE HORTALA, VOILÀ L’ÉTÉ RÉOUVERTURE LE MARDI 1ER SEPTEMBRE, À 14H. JUSQU'AU 3 OCTOBRE. œuvres exposées / exhibited artworks vues de l'exposition / installation shots De retour de Barcelone, Philippe Hortala quitte le blouson noir pour la chemise à fleurs. Dès 1985, il peint et expose ses intérieurs, des vues d’appartement aux couleurs vives, électriques, aux perspectives bousculées, béantes. L’intimité domestique grouille d’objets et de détails pour qui sait regarder. C’est un chaos organisé, un électrochoc visuel : on ne sait si le dedans verse dans le dehors ou plutôt l’inverse. Le regard du spectateur plonge souvent, surplombant les sujets du tableau : rien n’est droit, tous les volumes et les ouvertures surgissent de biais, entrechoqués comme dans un décor de film expressionniste (Le cabinet du docteur Caligari) : en premier lieu des fenêtres, des balcons, des portes et des tiroirs ouverts, des écrans allumés de télévision -avec de la neige, des images incertaines -, des tableaux aux murs. A l’intérieur la vie est lente quotidienne, comme écrasée par la chaleur. La lumière du jour entre dans ces intérieurs, allonge les ombres sur le sol, la chaise, la table… Parfois la nuit, l’appartement toujours abondamment éclairé. La vie du dehors est pleine de vacarme, les usines avec les cheminées qui fument, les avions passant au ras, dont on voit le ventre, les ailes, les hélices qui tournent, les réacteurs. Comme une menace. Du reste les lustres à pampilles s’en balancent au plafond (1). Ces tableaux forment le théâtre d’une vie bruyante, une vie extraordinaire à force d’exagération : le paysage entre dans l’appartement. Lire plus Extrait texte, communiqué exposition Philippe Hortala, voilà l’été. Benoît Decron, historien de l’art, directeur honoraire du musée Soulages, Rodez. Back from Barcelona, Philippe Hortala trades his black jacket for a floral shirt. As early as 1985, he began painting and exhibiting his interiors—vibrant, electric views of apartments with jumbled, gaping perspectives. Domestic intimacy teems with objects and details for those who know how to look. It is organized chaos, a visual shock: one cannot tell whether the inside spills into the outside or rather the other way around. The viewer’s gaze often plunges downward, overlooking the subjects of the painting: nothing is straight; all volumes and openings emerge at an angle, colliding as in the set of an expressionist film (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari): first and foremost windows, balconies, doors, and open drawers, lit television screens—with static, uncertain images—and paintings on the walls. Inside, daily life moves slowly, as if crushed by the heat. Daylight streams into these interiors, casting long shadows on the floor, the chair, the table… Sometimes at night, the apartment remains brightly lit. Life outside is full of noise: factories with smoking chimneys, planes flying low, their bellies, wings, spinning propellers, and jet engines visible. Like a threat. Moreover, the chandeliers with their pendants swing from the ceiling (1). These scenes form the stage for a noisy life, a life that is extraordinary through its very exaggeration: the landscape enters the apartment.
