Faire corps

L’Imagerie and Frac Bretagne photographic collections.

As part of the Glaz – Rencontres internationales de la photographie de Rennes festival, whose 2025 edition explores the links between acts of love and rebellion, L’Imagerie, Centre d’art et de photographie in Lannion, is teaming up with Frac Bretagne for an exhibition based on their respective photographic collections.

Entitled Faire corps, the exhibition brings together works by 16 artists of different nationalities, exploring ways of relating to one another, inhabiting the world together, uniting to resist, love or simply hold on.

“Faire corps” is first and foremost to form a group: to rally, to find oneself around a cause, to walk side by side to make a number, to aggregate in the face of adversity. It’s the political gesture of the collective and the claim to power through commonality.

“Faire corps“ is also the impulse of love: a way of inhabiting the same breath, merging with the other, building a body for two. It’s a place of passion, of friction and tenderness.

Finally, “Faire corps“ is to experience the body as shaped, constrained or celebrated. It’s about what the world does to the body through work, exhaustion or poverty, or, on the contrary, what the body does to the world when it becomes a surface of expression, of identity or social claim, of memory.

The exhibition offers a sensitive and engaging journey through embodied conditions: bodies in struggle, in bond, in love, all saying in their own way what it means to be a body in a fractured world.
