The Musée-Château of Annecy offers a journey through its holdings, asking what the intentions of the medium have been, what artistic approaches it gave rise to, and how images have been looked at yesterday and today.

What stories are told through a picture? A memorial object, a witness to decisive or historical instants or to ordinary facts, taking the image at the heart of the action or in staged and composed arrangements, the recorded image never stops reinventing itself to keep up with an idea.
