The Observatory
The anon. foundation
with Dennis Adams, Sylvie Blocher, Christian Gattinoni, Gladys, Anne-Marie Jugnet, Hélène Hourmat, Ellen Katterbach, Laurent Malone, Christian Milovanoff, Roselyne Pelaquier, Gérard Traquandi, Francine Zubeil.
The «Fondation anon.» combines the question of the origins with that of the lost name, and reminds that anonymous photography, because it doesn't say anything about its author nor its intentions, has lost its primitve meaning. The artists have 2 to 6 pages at their disposal.
