Steps/Mesures: Aymeric Vergnon-d’Alançon

Artist Talk
Aymeric Vergnon-d’Alançon: Inner Intervals
Wednesday 20 April at 7PM

The second guest of the program Steps/Mesures will be Paris-based artist and filmmaker Aymeric Vergnon-d’Alançon.

Taking as his starting point a text by art critic Jonathan Griffin, Vergnon’s talk will investigate photography’s relationship to our view of the universal, the personal and the cliché. Looking at how the language of photography shapes who is seen and who/what  is obscured, he will discuss his ongoing project the Surgün Photo Club, an informal photo club composed of people in exile.
