Tribute to Bruno Latour
Photographic traces and documentary film
In preparation for this day of tribute to Bruno Latour, Morgan Meyer, CNRS Research director and CSI researcher, and Clément Foutrel, doctoral student at the CSI, traveled to Beaune, more exactly at the municipal archives where Bruno Latour decided to deposit his professional archives in 2018. From this excursion in the path of Bruno Latour came a short documentary film and several photographs presented as part of an exhibition designed and organized by Morgan et Clément for ”Une Journée avec Bruno Latour”.
“Fonds Bruno Latour. Archives municipales de Beaune”. Documentary film
The film presents the Bruno Latour Fonds, its origin, classification and some of the gems it contains. Presented at mid-day[1], it was also intended as an invitation to visit the exhibition.
