About 40 European artists/photographers have been contacted to participate in the project. The artistic positioning of this new generation of photographers diverges from classical models by an often disturbing – sometimes provocative – questioning of these models. Characterized by the fragmentation of the body, these pictures highlight the aesthetical questionings in relation to the gender or bio-technical issues of today.
