Okay, I said there would be a series of exciting news, and here is the big one. Sorry, it took me a while to make this announcement. I wanted to wait until at least Florence’s name would appear on the website, and finally the time has come.
Florence’s “Water Works” has been selected to exhibit at the 2009 VISA OFF festival in Perpignan!!!
The “Water Works” exhibition includes “Water Colors I” that received an Honorable Mention from the 2008 International Photography Awards.
VISA OFF is sponsored by the prestigious International Festival of Photojournalism, VISA POUR L’IMAGE, and these two big festivals will be held concurrently in Perpignan, France. So photographers from all over the world including famous photojournalists will gather in Perpignan, and local restaurants and shops will become instant galleries for Visa Off exhibitions during the festival. I don’t know how they decide which shop to exhibit whose pictures, but Florence got lucky. Her exhibition will be held in a book store, Bébé en Bulles. I just don’t think her pictures would go well with a meat store… VISA OFF website has an interactive map, and Florence’s exhibition at Bébé en Bulles is number 29 on the map. Here is more detailed information about Florence’s exhibtion at Visa Off:
Title: Jeux d’eau (2009 Visa Off exposition 29)
Date: du 29 août au 12 septembre
Place: Bébé en Bulles 10, rue de la Cloche d’Or, 66000 Perpignan
Website: http://www.visaoff.com
The official Opening of Florence’s exhibition will be on September 1, 2009. Also there will be a screening of her pictures on a humongous screen in the evening of September 9 at place de la République.
Florence and I are very excited (yes, I’ll be there) about this event and look forward to seeing you there!
