EXHIBITION Robert Doisneau

> Exhibition sheet

Introductory video by the curator

Every exhibition is a story. Even more so is this one by Robert Doisneau, in which each photograph encapsulates a universe of moments, sensations, glances, stories, anecdotes.
We have chosen some of them for you. We tell you about them in our Video Podcast series "10 photos for 10 stories".

Robert Doisneau, L'enfer (1952)
A representative of order framed by a 'hellmouth', the entrance to a licentious Parisian cabaret.We start from this somewhat paradoxical image, our tale in 10 images and as many stories, anecdotes, curiosities with which we will make you better acquainted with this refined photographer who liked to call himself, a fisherman.

Robert Doisneau, Le Fox Terrier du Pont des Arts (1953)
Robert Doisneau was great not only at capturing the moment, as great photographers do, but also at inventing it, as great artists do, while giving us the illusion, as great conjurers do, that the photo is the result of chance...

Robert Doisneau, Promenade dominicale (1934)
This image hides a clue to an unsuspected character trait for a 'street photographer': shyness. Would you ever have guessed it? Robert Doisneau initially dared not photograph people (the rolleiflex helped him in this) and yet he had the feeling that he could see them very well...

Robert Doisneau, Les FFI de Ménilmontant (1944)
There is always a shot to which a photographer is particularly attached. For Doisneau it was this one, taken during the summer of '44 while wandering around a Paris that had just been liberated from the Nazis, in days when even a banal stroll could turn out to be anything but.

Robert Doisneau, Mademoiselle Anita (1951)
If all of #Doisneau's work is at bottom a self-portrait, well this photograph - beautiful and melancholic - is doubly so: in the right-hand corner you can see the photographer reflected in the mirror, and you can see him twice because the mirror forms a corner.

Robert Doisneau, Prise de vues publicitaire (1935)
This is a perfect, a little bit ironic and surreal advertising shot. The journey through Doisneau's photography continues with this image from his time at Renault. Take two minutes for yourself, get comfortable and let's get going.

Robert Doisneau, Comtesse Gaëlle et Monsieur Pedro (1950)
Many exhibitions have been dedicated to Doisneau, but this one is different, because the curator, Gabriel Bauret, has scoured the 450,000 negatives in the archive to distil a selection capable of sketching a "full-length" portrait of the artist: so alongside the essential shots there are also little-known photos, such as the one we tell you about today in this new video.

Robert Doisneau, Cafè noir et blanc (1948)
A married couple at a bistro counter. And that is already a story. If we then add a fine director like Doisneau, the image will speak to us on many levels.We invite you to enter this 'Café in black and white' with us.

Robert Doisneau, Blaise Cendrars à Saint Segond (1948)
This photo is the incipit of the friendship between Doisneau and the poet and storyteller, Blaise Cendras. Deeply impressed by the irreverent, anti-academic, immediate, profound shots of a young, little-known photographer, Cendras proposed to him that they produce together the famous book "The banlieu of Paris", which Doisneau himself would call "my most intimate self-portrait".

Robert Doisneau, Baiser de l'hotel de ville (1950)
How is an icon born? Here is the story behind one of the most famous kisses in the history of photography.

EXHIBITION Josef Koudelka. Radici

> Exhibition sheet

The exhibition documents with over one hundred extraordinary images Josef Koudelka's photographic journey in search of the roots of our history in the most important archaeological sites of the Mediterranean.

Josef Koudelka. Radici | Alessandra Mauro
Twenty-eight years of observation, of travel, of looks. In these 28 years, Josef Koudelka, a Czech photographer naturalised as a Frenchman, has visited the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean and described them through spectacular images. In this video, Alessandra Mauro, editorial director of Contrasto, talks about the exhibition Radici by Josef Koudelka.

Radici. Josef Koudelka | Roberto Koch
Josef Koudelka has visited more than two hundred archaeological sites around the Mediterranean in twenty different countries, returning several times to get the most out of his photographic work. In this video, Roberto Koch, editor of the book Radici (Contrasto), talks about Josef Koudelka's exhibition.

Radici. Josef Koudelka | Lucia Spagnuolo
The Ara Pacis Museum is the ideal place to host Josef Koudelka's ambitious and original project: the photographer's gaze on the ancient world dialogues perfectly with the archaeological finds on the museum's upper floor. In this video Lucia Spagnuolo, curator of archaeology at the Ara Pacis Museum, talks about the exhibition Radici by Josef Koudelka.

EVENT Radici. Sguardi sulla mostra

Four free online meetings for the exhibition Josef Koudelka. Radici. Evidenza della storia, enigma della bellezza. Appointments in streaming with the photographer Andrea Jemolo, the archaeologist Emanuele Greco, the geographer Franco Farinelli, the archaeologist Simone Foresta.

Vedere per comprendere. Fotografare l'archeologia romana | Andrea Jemolo
On the strength of his personal experience with Walls, a photographic work on the walls of Rome presented some time ago in the Ara Pacis Museum, Andrea Jemolo proposes a reflection on what it means to photograph the city, architecture and memory.

Impressioni, emozioni, rovine | Simone Foresta
Beauty and bewilderment, order and chaos, wonder and disquiet. What do the images of the ruins of the ancient world convey to us? The dialogue, starting from the work of Josef Koudelka, reflects on the extent to which photography constructs current feelings of the past.

Il percorso e la mappa | Franco Farinelli
The topicality of myth today is explained by the fact that it does not contemplate the possibility of the spatial functioning of the world, which is in fact disappearing nowadays. And this is the key to interpreting Koudelka's photos, which precisely because they are "mythological" actually prepare the ground for the future.

Storia e storie del Mediterraneo | Emanuele Greco
Starting with a selection of panoramic shots taken by Koudelka during his thirty-year journey across the Mediterranean, Emanuele Greco focuses on the relevant archaeological contexts, which are not always easy to understand: the identification of monuments and ruins will be part of the reconstruction of a topographical overview, with the aim of combining the Czech photographer's gaze with a historical reading of the sites represented.

MOSTRA Romaison

> Exhibition sheet

Clara Tosi Pamphili, fashion historian and curator of the exhibition takes the public on a guided tour of Romaison. The relationship between fashion and costume is told through the exhibition, with the stories of the tailors, their past and present productions and their extraordinary archives of original clothes.

EVENT  Intervista sulla pace, Dacia Maraini

A video recorded during a conversation with Dacia Maraini entitled "Interview on Peace" at the Ara Pacis Museum, as part of an initiative entitled "Incontri con gli scrittori".
