How do you read photography in the year it turns 200?
Paris Photo 2026 coincides with the bicentenary of photography. In the nave of the Grand Palais, the Digital Sector, now in its fourth edition and curated for the first time by Marco De Mutiis, Digital Curator at Fotomuseum Winterthur, looks at what happens to the image when it is produced, circulated and read by machines.
Eleven galleries from Europe, Asia and the Americas take part, six of them showing at Paris Photo for the first time. Between them: speculative botany, AI portraits that talk back, destroyed photographs, aerial views of a drying river, and a history of the Korean image told by twenty artists.
To make sense of it, we walked the sector thanks to the curator and the galleries.
