“In Praise of Time” - Raphaël Dallaporta


From 1 June to 3 November 2024

Winner of the Prix Niépce in 2019, photographer Raphaël Dallaporta goes beyond simply capturing images, establishing links between history, archaeology, astronomy and the arts, highlighting the relationship between progress and our evolution. As its name suggests, the In Praise of Time exhibition explores the many facets of time in the abbey's five dedicated spaces. A variety of works, such as the sculpture of a sundial in the courtyard of the abbey, and photographic compositions creating the illusion of cosmic clouds, all interact with the abbey's heritage. This fusionThis fusion of energy and solemnity is in keeping with the architecture of the Romanesque abbey, which is conducive to introspection and adorned with archaeological remains.

This exhibition is part of the Rencontres d'Arles programme as part of the Grand Arles Express.

An original temporary exhibition by artist Raphaël Dallaporta and curator Françoise Docquiert.

Free admission.
