"There is no landscape without a point of view [...]. It is the gaze that creates the landscape", rightly says the beautiful text by the writer Loo Hui Phang. Ariadne's thread, this story runs through the walls and weaves a link between the works of the second edition of the Jeu de Paume festival, orchestrated by Jeanne Mercier, a specialist in African photography.
