realisation of the book 
Décadrage Colonial, which

Center’s exhibition from 
November 7, 2022 to 
February 27, 2023. 
This book is about an 
unknown chapter of the 
surrealist fight and of its 
subversive iconography in 
reaction to the opening of 
the international colonial 
Exhibition in Vincennes. 
This book also approches 
the equivocal relationships 
that modern photography 
has maintained with "other" 
cultures, past or contemporary. 
Throught The National Museum 
of Modern Art photographies 
collection, its reveals all its 
complexity, between 
fetishization and renewal 
of the codes of the exotic 
representation.
