Robert Franck - Henri Cartier-Bresson - William Klein - Bill Brandt - Irving Penn - Helmut Newton - Joseph Sudek - Diane Arbus - Cindy Sherman - Gilbert & George - Christian Boltanski - Lee Friedlander - Man Ray - Lazlo Moholy-Nagy - Jorge Orta

From 10 pm to 1 am on 14, 15, 21, 22 and 23 June.

While retaining the festive and spectacular character of the nocturnes, this year the projections are an integral part of the general programming of the event, another way of showing.

The theme of subsitution (which covers part of the exhibitions), with the diversion and transpositions it implies, will be evoked by giant projections on :

- the façade of the museum

- the west portal of the Cathedral

A retrospective approach to contemporary photography

Three times, three places, three installations to give reference points and help discover a very contemporary photography

Cour Caviole 

This first part shows how Robert Frank (The Americans), William Klein (New York), Henri Cartier-Bresson (the decisive moment), among others, pioneered a new way of looking at the world in the 1950s.

Court garden

A second section to show how one moves from this analytical view to the invention of a personal formal universe, with works by Bilt Brandt, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Joseph Sudek, Diane Arbus, etc.

Place Champollion 

A final section to discover how photography is simultaneously becoming one of the main tools of contemporary art, from Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, to the young artists presented this year in Cahors, via Cindy Sherman, Gilbert & George, Christian Boltanksi, ...

Monographs

Rue de la Chantrerie, Place Saint-James, Rue Saint-Urcisse 

Projection of a retrospective of the work of Lee Friedlander, whose reflection on the ambiguity and foliage of visual signs is linked to the question of substitution.

Facades of the Saint James mill and rue du Maréchal Foch 

Giant projections of works by Man Ray and Laslo Moholy-Nagy, inventors, each in their own way, of universes of autonomous forms that no longer owe anything to the description of reality.

Jorge Orta 

Cloister - courtyard of the archdeaconry 

Jorge Orta's work consists of a work on memory. He creates a visual, poetic and planetary alphabet from the signs and images of collective memory: ideograms, representations of objects, sound elements and textual fragments. These signs are projected by light cannons used as "ephemeral brushes" during luminographic interventions, conceived as ritual and symbolic performances. For the Printemps de Cahors, Jorge Orta will create a special installation for the cloister.
