Exhibition
The Blind. The INJA Photographic Collection
Institut national des jeunes aveugles - Louis Braille / PhotoSaintGermain
56 boulevard des Invalides
75007 Paris
France
The INJA's photographic collection is a rare body of work, never before exhibited, documenting the institution's history. Drawing on this archive, the exhibition traces the history of the place and its students. The earliest images coincide with the rise of photography studios under the Second Empire. More contemporary works, such as those by Hervé Guibert and Jacques Bondon, contribute to a renewed way of looking at blind and visually impaired people. Together, they invite us to rethink the representation of visual disability through the history of the medium and its evolutions.
