The Shapes of Water
Feared for many centuries, water became a symbol of cleanliness in the 19th century, then of health (ocean bathing), and finally, in the 20th century, of pleasure and freedom. Les Douches la Galerie, which was once a public shower that closed in 1977, pays homage to the element that adorned its walls prior to photography. Bringing together different artists and trends in 20th-century photography seemed like a return鈥� to the source.
