Lewis Baltz

Born in 1945, he lives in Paris, France.

This American photographer uses photography to explore a number of ideas and hypotheses about the contemporary world. The "night watch", presented in the Museum Chapel, has its origins in Lewis Baltz's research on new technologies. This installation is presented as a series of 12 Cibachrome panels, 2 meters high and 12 meters long, where images of high-tech components or sites are altered, and views of ill-defined urban spaces. This piece presents the notions of public and private space, the idea of ​​the visible and the invisible, and of the surveillance that characterizes contemporary society.
