Véronique DE VIGUERIE

Art Director of the 9th RDV•I 2020
Véronique DE VIGUERIE has a message for you. (in French)
The art director's role
The art director of Rendez-vous Image chooses the authors / works to be exhibited. This carte blanche for a single person gives a pronounced character to the exhibition. The result of the selection process is therefore fully respected.
All art directors have a strong personal practice in photography. They are often graduates of an Applied Arts school, and their careers, commitments and photographic production endow them with an undisputed place in the world of photography.
Their experience and professionalism make them exceptional art directors who will take a critical but benevolent look at the dossiers presented and who will decisively contribute to an extraordinary exhibition experience.
