Presentation

1826–2026. To mark the bicentennial of photography, your Micro-Folie, a digital museum, invites you to discover about a hundred photographs that trace the history of humanity, science, art, and society.

From early experiments and the first photography studios to photojournalism and artistic photography, discover a selection of about 100 photographs from museum and heritage collections in France, Europe, and beyond. As witnesses to their time, these photographs tell our story. They invite us to reflect on how we view the world and the people around us; above all, they challenge the way we look at things and the value we place on images.

Excerpt from the Manifesto for the Bicentennial of Photography: “This invention, a blend of the spirit of exploration and the magic of light, revolutionized our world by profoundly altering the spirit and nature of its representations and fostering a new relationship with reality. Photography was founded on a utopia—the belief that it was possible to bridge the gap between reality and its reproduction, and the suggestion that the object and its photographic image could be indistinguishable.”
