celebrates the dynamic relationship between photography and the writing of Annie Ernaux. Winner of the Nobel Prize of Literature, Annie Ernaux is known for her social and feminist commitment, particularly to the younger generation, and for her ability to explore universal themes such as memory, identity and the human condition. Her precise style and emotional analysis have made her a major figure in contemporary literature. It combines texts from Ernaux’s book , 1993 – a record of happenings on trains, shops and streets in-and-around Cergy-Pontoise between 1985 and 1992 – with more than one hundred and fifty images from the MEP collection by major photographers such as Harry Callahan, Claude Dityvon, Dolorès Marat, Daido Moriyama, Janine Niepce, Issei Suda, Henry Wessel and Bernard Pierre Wolff, amongst others. The image selection covers the second half of 20th century and includes photographs mostly taken in France but also in England, Japan, USA and other countries.
Photography has long been an interest of Annie Ernaux’s and references to childhood photographs appear across her work. In she takes a new approach, by directly attempting to write as if making images: “To describe reality as through the eyes of a photographer and to preserve the mystery and opacity of the lives I encountered.” The exhibition pays homage to Annie Ernaux's objective, by treating her words as photographs, displaying them on the walls of the museum. The diverse photographs that appear alongside her texts reveal a shared interest in the role of place and space in how modern life unfolds. Both images and texts unveil how ordinary and insignificant events we observe in the city reflects back at us broader societal inequalities and stereotypes. The exhibition is grouped around themes that underpin Ernaux’s observations – from the daily rituals of travel and consumption, to the performances of class and gender performance that underpin society’s hierarchies. Also considered are the feelings of fear and loneliness prevalent in the modern city, and the fine lines between what is public and private, shared and separate.
The exhibition is the product of a residency conducted by the curator and writer Lou Stoppard in April 2022, which focused on using the MEP collection as a catalyst for new research and for linking photography to other mediums.
To coincide with the exhibition, a catalogue will be published in French and in English by Éditions MACK in partnership with the MEP.
Curator: Lou Stoppard
Curator for the MEP: Victoria Aresheva

#Disneyland Paris: Worth going? Highlights and pit-avoidance guides are worth going? Definitely worth it for specific people! Parent-child families, Disney fans, first-time experiencers will enjoy it. But tourists who are looking for excitement or disgust in the queue, please think twice about the gentle project, and the queue is amazing during peak season. Exclusive highlights: 1. Dream landmark: the only pink blue sleeping beauty castle in the world, integrating European fairy tale elements, and the night view light show is beautiful. 2.30th anniversary celebration (2023 limited): Drone formations fly in the sky during the day, and the new castle projection show &quot;Disney Dream Light&quot; at night is shocking and audio-visual. 3. Immersion experience: exquisite details, rich Paris style of the Rat King District, and unique design of the haunted elevator. 4. Double garden selection: classic fairy tales in the main park, Huate Studios is more exciting (including the reconnected Campus). Avoid pits: - Download the official App in advance to check the queue/reservation; - Single channel time-saving tools; - Bring your own snacks (expensive and unpalatable in the park);- It is rainy and cold in winter, so be sure to bring enough clothes. Summary: Disney Paris wins in a unique atmosphere and limited celebration. Although the hardware is slightly inferior to Tokyo/Shanghai, the careful planning can still harvest wonderful memories. Lower expectations, embrace fairy tales, magic never ends!

Louvre Museum

Superchick

The museum is massive so I suggest booking an early time slot so you have enough time to see all the exhibits there&#39;s a lot of interesting pieces of art to see . The line to get into the museum might take some time so keep that in mind.

Great option for fixed time entry into Eiffel Tower, especially if you can&rsquo;t get tickets directly with Eiffel Tower. Marie Rosa was our guide today and she is absolutely lovely, very friendly and helpful to bring us up to Eiffel Tower.

Glorious, today only visited the indoor large suite part, the outdoor is too hot and too hot, so give up, but the weather is cooler, it should take a long time to browse!

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

清无梓境

🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.
