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.
