Description
Remember Me is a large-scale group exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection in Paris, France, marking the bicentennial of the invention of photography. The show takes over the entire museum, presenting around 700 works that trace the evolution of the medium from its 19th-century origins to contemporary digital forms.
The exhibition features a monumental LED and sound installation by Barbara Kruger in the central Rotunda, which gives the show its title. Visitors navigate through dedicated sections for masters like Irving Penn—represented by over 400 prints—and Raymond Depardon, alongside works by icons including Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. The selection is organized as a "fugue," encouraging thematic dialogues rather than a strict chronological route.
This presentation highlights the depth of the Pinault Collection’s photographic holdings, which have grown significantly since 2007. By placing these images within the circular, historic architecture of the Bourse, the show explores photography's role as a vessel for memory and its power to freeze the ephemeral nature of time.
