Six students and recent alumni of the Photography Department of the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre were invited to create a counterpoint to the themes and photographs curated by the museum. Each section exhibits one such project, developed under the coordination of professors Hervé Charles and Olivier Thieffry.
