The French artist has worked for the Magnum agency, and has traveled to Asia a lot. Even though he attended serious and major events, he keeps for the human being quite a tenderness. This hope for humanity shows in his work: Marc Riboud often puts the people he meets in the heart of his pictures.

In his black and white pictures, the artist plays with perspectives, looks for the harmony of symmetry or the strength of chaotic layouts. All his works are to be discovered for our greatest joy in one giant exhibition, gathered for the first time for a grand retrospective devoted to Marc Riboud. Will you join him in his travels?
