The Exhibition
"This exhibition
explores one of the key subjects of photography, the portrait, and
especially the self-portrait, in all its variety of forms, from the
snapshot, through documentary to the carefully stage-managed.
The
exhibition looks at new tendencies in contemporary photography,
contrasting the work of French-based photographers with both Scottish and
other international practitioners, thus creating an international
dialogue.
The exhibition includes
work by Orlan, Kimoko Yoshida, Philippe Ramette, as well as Scottish
photographers Wendy McMurdo and Euan Myles.
The City Art Centre is
the first venue on the world tour of this important international project,
initiated by Association Française d’Action Artistique (AFAA) and
organised in association with the Institut Français d’Ecosse."
