In the aftermath of the Liberation, Alain Adler, born in 1923, turned to photography and was sent to report on film sets. He began a collaboration with the magazines l'Avant-Garde, Ciné-Révélation and Regards in which "photography and the 7th art hold a preponderant place", underlines the gallery located at 6 rue de Seine in the 6th arrondissement. Only the work of Alain Adler remains, covering the period 1954-1964, during which the New Wave emerges. The photographer is particularly interested in “ downtime during filming ” as well as what happens “on set”.
In 1990, the Roger-Viollet agency acquired 12,000 photographs by Alain Adler. The exhibition, developed in collaboration with the nephew of the photographer Guillaume Adler, will present more than 80 prints.
