The Mois de la Photo gets a little bigger each time it comes around, and for this 18th edition one hundred exhibitions are on in galleries all around the city. The event’s general director Jean-Luc Monterosso has stated that each of these strives to answer ‘the questions of a society that’s losing all sense of place’ – just what that entails, exactly, remains to be seen.

The exhibitions have been put into three groups: the intimate, the Mediterranean and ‘amateur celebrities’ (notably Michel Houellebecq and James Franco).
