Tel / Fax : +86-21-5465-3697 - Mobile : +86-136-0187-7712 the exhibition “80+80 photo_graphisme “ is the encounter of two image-creating jobs : graphic designer and photographer. To celebrate VU' 20th anniversary in an original way, VU' Gallery and Anatome Gallery (Paris) have asked 160 creators from all over the world (80 graphic designers and 80 photographers) to confront their experience and their respective visions, exploring freely a new dimension of graphics creation. Each graphic designer had been given the image of one VU' photographer. High-risk creative clash where the photography doesn't come as a mere illustration but is at the center of the graphic creation. How a graphic designer can work with a photographic picture who is self-sufficient and meets one author's requirements ? A big dilemma for the graphic designer ! Exhibited pictures are the results of two sensibilities's confrontation. Some graphic designers have superposed their typographic or graphic codes on the photographic picture. Others have deconstructed it or reinterpreted it. Finally, others have added sense, sometimes in a very different or provocative way. By taking this initiative, VU' and Anatome gallery have allowed an absolutely unique and ambitious encounter between 160 artists. The exhibition was originally presented simultaneously at Galerie VU' and Galerie Anatome in november and december 2006, during the Mois Européen de la Photographie in Paris (France). The catalogue is published by Aman Iman Créations and Filigranes. pingyao international photography festival Created in 2000, Pingyao International Photography Festival has become one of the most important festival in China.
