45th Recontres d’Arles
The 45th Rencontres d’Arles is a pivotal one: the swan song of its director, François Hébel, who took charge of the ailing festival in 2001 and transformed it into the most popular and important annual photography event in Europe. Hébel has defiantly subtitled his final Rencontres "Parade", though he is leaving in somewhat fractious circumstances.
