At the Center Pompidou, the exhibition “Body to Body: History of Photography” questions the question of how we look at others

© Centre Pompidou, Janet Rodriguez-Garcia. For six months, the Centre Pompidou presents a remarkable photography exhibition. An unprecedented dialogue between two of France's greatest collections explores the question of the body and the human figure. "Body to Body: A History(ies) of Photography" traces a journey from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, featuring the biggest names—Walker Evans, Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Saul Leiter—as well as lesser-known photographers. This exhibition will be on view, or revisited, during the next edition of "We Are French Touch," which will take place at the Centre Pompidou on November 21. A guided tour will be led by its co-curator, Julie Jones, curator at the Photography Department of the National Museum of Modern Art – Centre Pompidou.
