Cannes Backstage: A Sensory Photo Exhibition

×

Expand

Cannes Backstage is a powerful photography exhibition by Neus Flores. This unique show goes beyond celebrity to reveal the unseen rhythms and dedicated people behind the Cannes Film Festival.

Flores, a filmmaker, photographer and journalist, focuses on the liminal, capturing the unnoticed moments that define the festival's soul. Her images, from the Palais des Festivals' corridors to makeshift studios, feel like stills from a larger, untold story. With a keen eye for narrative and truth, she creates atmospheres, blending personal and performative elements.

The exhibition's emotional pacing unfolds like a short film, shifting from excitement to solitude, inviting viewers to feel the festival's tempo. Flores champions the unsung heroes—sound editors, journalists and volunteers—whose vital labor sustains the industry. "Cannes isn't just a red carpet," she states, "it’s an incredible human engine."

The festival's geography plays a key role, showcasing rarely seen spaces just steps from the red carpet, yet worlds apart. This juxtaposition of glamour and grit creates a rich, textured portrait of Cannes as a vibrant, working ecosystem with its own authentic pulse.
