What to do this summer in the south of France ? For travelers in Marseille, L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui suggests a visit to the Friche la Belle de Mai to discover a new outlook on the space of the city.

La Friche la Belle de Mai is setting up in its Salle des Machines, the photography exhibition “The City Differently” (“La Ville Autrement”), on the subject of the Mediterranean city.

The exhibition gives a new outlook on cities such as Toulon, Beirut or Tangier, where photographers Joe Kesrouani, Anne-Françoise Pélissier, Hicham Gardaf and others highlight a “poetic of absence” to better confront it to clichés of the surpopulated and piled up city.

The exhibition will end on August 13th 2017.

La Friche la Belle de Mai is a cultural institution founded in Marseille in 1992, in the old 45 000 square meters Seita tobacco factory. This large surface allows various disciplines to stand alongside each other, such as theater, music, dance, visual arts, cinema, sports, and many places to house numerous activities, such as a restaurant, a market, exhibition spaces, a theater, concert and performance venues, shared gardens, a bookshop, a nursery, a skatepark, games and sports areas, and a training center.
