France joins hands during Month of Images in HCM City

HCM City (VNA)- The French General Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and the Institute for Cultural Exchange of France (Idecaf) inaugurated the 'Month of Images-2008' on October 2 to introduce a new style of photography to the city's residents.

Thirteen photographers of both French and Vietnamese citizenship showcased
a revolution in photographic art and technology at the Municipal Art
Museum . The revolutionary style renders their work "poetic, diverse and
vivid in reflecting routine life", said Philippe Piguet from the Art
Steering Board, remarking on the event.

Another exhibition is currently being held at the Gallery Quynh to display
a collection by French photographer Samuel Roussau under the theme "The
World in Artists' Imagination."

At the Idecaf, Vietnamese photographer Ngo Dinh Truc will be exhibiting
photographic works entitled "The Same", while there will also be the chance
to catch screenings of a piece by French video artist Jerome Allavena.

The San Art (Art Floor), reserved as a contemporary art space by the group
Wonderful, introduces a project by Thierry Bernard-Gptteland, Stephane
Cochard and Sandrine Llouquet.

The event will run until October 21.--Enditem
