Arles
The contemporary face of Arles
Arles has inspired artists – musicians, painters, architects and fashion designers – since Antiquity. These days, contemporary art has a prominent place.

Fondation MRO
Capturing humanity in motion
The Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation, created in 2010, and dedicated to documentary and social photography, aims to encourage a new generation of committed photographers whose vision makes us question the world. The current exhibition, The Space Between Things, is a Gilles Massot retrospective. The common threads running through his work are the history of the photographic image, its production and reproduction.
