Le Feuilletage #7 | Gong Co. with Christian Patterson

Christian Patterson presents Gong Co. (Éditions Images Vevey & TBW Books, 2024), a long-form, monumental memento mori to the decline, death, and decay of a small grocery store in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. In this work, made over 20 years, Patterson finds a reflection of 20th century America and perceives “going out of business” as something personal and profound – an existential allegory relating to one’s own life and time.

The event will be held in English.
Tickets available on our online ticketing service.

Inaugurated in June 2023, Le Feuilletage is an event format proposed by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, dedicated to photography books.
Le Feuilletage invites a photographer to look back at the genesis of one of his or her books, from the selection of images to the layout and sequencing.
