About
Sheltered (À l’abri) offers a reflection on the different ways of being in, or creating, a shelter. This work is based on photographic series, a collective assembly of images, as well as a participatory installation.
The In Progress association provides a creative and studious framework for photographers who wish to recount, question, and explore the photographic medium. Beyond the meetings, we also develop projects that aim not only to offer members the opportunity to work collectively from conception to exhibition, but also, and above all, to reflect on ways to reach audiences, including and even more so those who are not necessarily familiar with 'author photography'. These projects are carried out without the constraint of a market because their primary purpose is experimentation and learning, yet they are conducted with the requirement of quality inherent to any work intended for the public.

Step into a space where photography transcends the frame to explore the many ways we construct shelter. Through immersive installations and collaborative storytelling, this exhibit challenges you to reconsider the concept of sanctuary in a truly intimate light.
The exhibition À l'abri takes over the Edmond Rostand Library from November 7, 2026, to January 17, 2027, to explore the concepts of refuge and shelter. Organized by the In Progress collective, the event features a range of photographic series, a collective image assembly, and an interactive installation. Open to all and free of charge, this project aims to demystify auteur photography through creative experimentation. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring that everyone can explore these visual reflections in the heart of the 17th arrondissement without barriers.
From November 7, 2026, to January 17, 2027, the Edmond Rostand Library presents the exhibition À l'abri. Curated by the association In Progress, this project encourages visitors to contemplate the various meanings of shelter through a thoughtful arrangement of photographic works.
The exhibition is structured around three primary elements: curated photographic series, a collective assembly of images, and an installation that invites audience participation. The In Progress association focuses on providing a space for photographers to explore the medium outside the constraints of the traditional art market, prioritizing experimentation and learning while maintaining high professional standards for public display.
Attendance is free for everyone. The library, located at 11 rue Nicolas Chuquet in the 17th arrondissement, is equipped for wheelchair access. This event is designed to bridge the gap between auteur photography and the general public, welcoming both seasoned enthusiasts and those discovering the medium for the first time.
