Exhibition "A nameless war, 1954-1962 Algeria"
International Center of Photojournalism Couvent des Minimes - Rue François Rabelais - 66000 Perpignan Free entry from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
To ask the question of how the Algerian war was photographed - and on this point there is a considerable mass of photos - often amounts to bringing back a memory, to establishing a disproportion between the photos of amateurs, those of professionals , those of the French army like those rarer of the ALN (Army of National Liberation), to finally define the imbalance of the representation of the French of Algeria and the soldiers on one side and the Algerians on the other side . We are well aware of this.
An exhibition presented at the International Center of Photojournalism and at the Camp de Rivesaltes Memorial bears the title : a war without a name, 1954 - Algeria - 1962.
