PASSAGES. LA PHOTOGRAPHIE DANS L’ART VIDÉO CONTEMPORAIN
SPECIAL EVENT - EXHIBITION
Passages is an exhibition in three parts that concerns the dia- lectic between photographic and moving images in contemporary video art.

With contributions by, among others, Andrea Geyer, Ken Kobland, Els Opsomer, Walid Ra’ad, Shelly Silver and Sarah Vanagt.
Passages – La photographie dans l’art vidéo contemporain is an initiative by the research project ‘Photofilmic Images in Contemporary Art and Visual Culture’ at UCL and the Lieven Gevaert Research Centre for Photography (LGC) in collaboration with Argos. It is supported by the FNRS, UCL Culture, and the Centre culturel d’Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve.
