Founded in 2015 by Eric Vialatel, the Festival du Regard dives into the intimate and the autofictional, presenting author-photographers who have taken their own lives as the throughline of their work. Among them, the Spanish photographer Alberto García-Alix, whose iconic images of an alternative world marked by death and poetry open the exhibition with his celebrated self-portrait, alongside Jen Davis's eleven-year self-portrait project on body acceptance, Kourtney Roy's cinematic self-staging, and Eva Rubinstein's silent black-and-white interiors, among photographers including Robert Doisneau, Nobuyoshi Araki and Miroslav Tichý.
