In the early 20th century, Dadaists, Surrealists and Constructivists explored the limits of photographic language as a means to capture the spirit of modern times. Abstract images, photomontages or frames obtained without the intervention of the camera allowed expressing the formal, social and political concerns of the moment. Since the second half of the 20th century, photographic experimentation continues to blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture, film and performance. 

A journey from the beginnings of photographic experimentation based on more than 200 images from the collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne – Center d'Art Georges Pompidou, structured into six thematic sections: light, movement, alterations, recreating worlds, the tested vision and anatomies.
