Each year, Paris Photo presents a series of Conversations held over the four days of the fair, bringing together artists, curators, critics, and other leading figures from the art world. The full program will be available online in early October.

In 2025, the program includes a conversation with Sophie Ristelhueber, as well as an open seminar at the Sorbonne led by Michel Poivert with his Master’s students. Carmen Winant and Martine Gutierrez will offer two readings-performances. A preview screening of the film Ferdinandea by Clément Cogitore is also scheduled. In addition, a discussion on the theme AI Agents as Artists will focus on the challenges of artificial intelligence in artistic creation. The one-hour-long conversations will be held in the auditorium of the Grand Palais, four times a day.
