The exhibition Récits Contemporains was curated on the occasion of Marseille Photography Fair, Polyptyque in 2021. The show explored current trends in photography through the works of 10 international artists.

Dealing with contemporary issues such as climate change, technologies, diversity and gender equality, the works also experimented with the photographic medium to testimony of the current state of images. Artists, in collaboration with their galeries, presented sculptures, installations, tapestries, videos, collages along photographic prints, displaying a survey of photography relationship with other mediums.
