PHOTO | BRUT

Can we consider “raw photography” as a category of art brut, according to the definition given to this concept by Jean Dubuffet? It would then bring together shots, prints, photomontages, photocollages, made by self-taught authors, produced outside of conventional artistic circuits, in an asyllic setting or in the solitude and marginality of cities and countryside. Photo|Brut presents more than 500 works from the Bruno Decharme collection, as well as a selection of other institutional and private collections chosen for their complementarity. Through four main themes – “Private affairs”, “Reformatting the world”, “Performing or another I”, “Conjuring the real” – the exhibition will attempt to identify and present to the public this little-studied field of art even though there is a rich and fascinating corpus.
