Mondes en commun 2025
From 17 May to 7 September 2025.
In its second iteration, the festival has extended invitations to 10 international photographers to present their work, which is centred on the theme of the visual inventory of the world, a subject of particular concern to Albert Kahn. The selected inventories, encompassing a diverse array of genres including documentary, scientific, poetic and unconventional forms, offer a global perspective, each unveiling a distinctive and empathetic vision of our planet.
This second edition is primarily held outdoors, intricately weaving a connection between images and the garden. The landscaped park, conceived by Albert Kahn, is a metaphor for a world of peace, rich in diversity. It now hosts ten photographers whose works are drawn from both a journey and a series of monographic exhibitions.
