Photography fixes time, stops movement. But since its origin, the capture of what passes constitutes the impossible horizon of its quest. What can be the meaning of a frozen image of dance? What gives life to it? What tension, what relation to the body does it carry? With this exhibition, three artists propose their imaginary museums of dance: three photographic strategies to account for gestures, ideas, references or desires related to the choreographic imaginary.

Portraits of Steve Paxton, Xavier Le Roy and Julia Cima by Jean-Luc Moulène, Photomusée de la danse created by Tim Etchells, La Grande Évasion, collection of images assembled on the internet by Pierre Leguillon.

As counterbalance to the exhibition PHOTO, artist Tino Sehgal will experiment with the public a new project of choreographic installation, playing on “the life of the bodies".
