Photographic path along the rive gauche

Every year, in November, PhotoSaintGermain gathers a wide selection of museums, cultural institutions, galleries and bookshops of the Paris left bank for a photographic journey.

Meetings, screenings, signatures and workshop visits punctate the program, in light of the exhibitions presented.

All the appointments touch upon the great tendencies of the contemporary photography, and question its tools of promotion and dissemination.

SIMONE

SIMONE is the official newspaper of PhotoSaintGermain.
Annual, free and published in limited edition, it reports the Festival current events.

The editorial coordination of the 4th edition is entrusted to Hélène Giannecchini, author, art critic, researcher and curator, responsible for the Alix Cléo Roubaud’s collection. It will particularly gather texts from Nina Léger, Guitemie Maldonado and Magali Nachtergael.

Visual

PhotoSaintGermain supports young creation by putting in the hands of an emergent talent the making of the official visual. Only one guideline : talk about Saint-Germain-des-Près.
