MATHIEU PERNOT AND PHILIPPE ARTIERES, ASYLUM PHOTOGRAPHS

Since 2009, photographer Mathieu Pernot and historian Philippe Artières have been invited to perform work on the archives of the Psychiatric Hospital Le Bon Sauveur, located in Picauville (Manche), which resulted in an exhibition and a publication, published by Point du Jour. This specific piece, assembled, designed, selected, is a kind of history of photography, seen from the hospital, instead of living in specific times and not a banal, a non-marginal history, but at the margin, a kind of asylum photographs.
