Dust. The Plates of the Present

Dust : The Plates of the Present is a photographic installation made between 2013 and 2018 at the initiative of French painter Thomas Fougeirol, and American artist and curator Jo-ey Tang. Together they invited more than one hundred and twenty-four artists – visual artists, musicians, writers and video-makers of different nationalities – to produce a series of eight photograms in an improvised dark room in Ivry-sur-Seine. Dust is a grandiose collective work that pays homage to a rapidly disappearing form of image. This work, acquired by the Museum, is shown for the first time in its entirety in the form of an immersive installation.
