With the newly curated sector, Voices, the expansion of Digital and Emergence sectors, the coming of new contemporary book publishers and the return of antiquarian books, Paris Photo offers a broader range of artistic projects exploring the boundaries of the medium.

An institutional collection of photographs highlighting the Lithuanian scene will be showcased as part of the upcoming French-Lithuanian season, in colaboration with 2 major French institutions the Bibliothèque National de France (BnF) and the Centre Pompidou.

“This new edition, which features an ever-expanding list of international exhibitors, marks our return to the Grand Palais. On this occasion, we have worked with Anna Planas, Artistic Director of Paris Photo, and the selection committee, to present a fair showcasing projects worthy of the most prestigious institutions and pushing the boundaries of the image. Once again, the enthusiasm of our galleries and publishers highlights Paris’ key role in the art market. We look forward to welcoming our collectors, institutions, professionals and art-lovers to the fair in November.”

Voices, a new curated sector

This first edition will be hosted by 3 curators: Azu Nwagbogu, Founder and Director of LagosPhoto Festival, Independent Curator and recently Curator of the Benin Pavilion at the Venice Biennale; Sonia Voss, author and curator of numerous exhibitions focused on photographic scenes that emerged behind the Iron Curtain, particularly East German and 1970s Lithuanian photography; and Elena Navarro, independent curator, who founded the international photography festival, FotoMéxico.

Emergence sector

Emergence, previously known as Curiosa, showcases 23 projects highlighting the work
of emerging artists Including the work of Caroline Corbasson at Dilecta (Paris), collages by Miguel Angel Tornero, Juan Silio (Santander, Madrid), Popel Comou, Torch (Amsterdam), and the intriguing work on green algae by Alice Paillot at Hangar in Brussels. The Emergence sector will be located on the balconies surrounding the central nave of the Grand Palais.

Digital sector

Launched for the first time in 2023, the Digital sector was a great success last year and is now expanding to include 15 projects at the heart of the nave. Dedicated to artists who integrate digital realities into their work and to exploring the use of digital practices in the evolution of the medium, it will feature contemporary artists such as Alina Frieske and Jonas Lund. For the second year, the sector is curated by Nina Roehrs.

Book sector

Highly popular and appreciated by Paris Photo visitors, the book sector gathers publi-
shers to celebrate the significant contribution of books to the evolving narrative of photography. Contemporary publishers such as Morel Books, Eriskay Connection, Void, and Kodoji, alongside antiquarian books from Plac’Art Photo and Dirk K. Bakker Boeken, will be featured. The sector will be located on the first floor of the Grand Palais.

Elles x Paris Photo

Curated by Raphaëlle Stopin, Director of the Centre photographique Rouen Normandie
and former artistic director of the Hyères festival, for its 6th edition, Elles x Paris Photo is a program which aims to highlight women photographers. In partnership with the French Ministry of Culture and with the support of Women In Motion, a Kering program to shine a light on women in the arts and culture, the representation of women artists at the fair has so far raised from 20% to 36% since 2018.

This year, for the first time and with the support of Kering, the program is enhanced by significant sponsorship for four galleries that are hosting solo or group shows by women photographers.
