Paris Photo 2009
Spotlight on Arab and Iranian Photography

In mid-November 2009, Paris Photo, one of the most important photography fairs, will bring together 101 exhibitors from 23 countries.

This year's edition proposes to undertake an unprecedented exploration of the Arab and Iranian photography scene.

Guest curator Catherine David is in charge of this project which is composed of three distinct elements:

- the Central Exhibition showcasing photographs from the Arab Image Foundation

- the Statement section which offers an overview of the scene currently emerging from the region - from Tehran to Beirut, Gaza to Cairo and Tangiers to Dubai

- the Project Room screening a selection of video work by artists from the region.
