About

An exceptional opportunity to (re)discover the work of the MYOP photographic agency, thanks to the restaging of its 20th-anniversary evening created during the 2025 Rencontres d'Arles. Accompanied by three musicians and Goncourt Prize-winning author Laurent Gaudé, who will read a text inspired by the photographers' work, this screening of images from the 20 members of the collective allows us to see, in a new light, what we have experienced over the last 20 years, from Ukraine to the Lockdown and from Lebanon to Charlie.

Our take on this event

Twenty years of history flash by in this immersive fusion of live photography, spoken word, and musical score. Through the lenses of MYOP members, you will witness the most defining moments of our recent past presented with profound artistic intensity.

Photographer collective MYOP marks its 20th anniversary with a live retrospective at the Salle Pablo Neruda in Bobigny on October 16, 2026. From 20:00 to 21:00, the event showcases two decades of global reporting, covering events from the Ukraine conflict to the recent pandemic. The visual journey features live music and readings by Goncourt prize-winning author Laurent Gaudé. Suitable for ages 11 and up, the venue is wheelchair accessible and provides sign language interpretation for an inclusive experience.

On October 16, 2026, the Salle Pablo Neruda in Bobigny hosts a unique live session celebrating the 20-year history of the MYOP agency.

The screening runs from 20:00 to 21:00.

Beyond the photography, the evening integrates a performance by three musicians and readings by author Laurent Gaudé, who provides a narrative text created in response to the images. The event is open to visitors aged 11 and older. Organizers have ensured full accessibility, with facilities for wheelchair users and sign language interpretation throughout the session.
