Arles - A place of encounter
Arles, the meeting place of the summer
Every summer, french city Arles transforms into the vibrant heart of photography. With the Rencontres d'Arles, an internationally renowned festival, the city has been attracting artists, photographers and photography enthusiasts from all over the world for over 50 years.
Exhibitions, galleries, independent projects... the whole city lives to the rhythm of contemporary photography. WhiteWall is proud to contribute to this unique creative upswing with its know-how.
Exhibitions supported by WhiteWall
Discover the exhibitions supported by WhiteWall as part of FOTOHAUS ARLES – hosted at the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation. Photography becomes a living memory, an act of resistance, and a glimmer of hope for renewal.
Address: FOTOHAUS Arles - 18 rue de la Calade in Arles
Tracing the Possible
The exhibition brings together the work of seven photojournalists from the laif agency. They document life journeys around the world that are characterized by courage, solidarity and creativity and confront the challenges of climate, conflict, and identity issues.
These images inspire us to rethink our ideas of community, happiness, and coexistence. Even amid crisis, spaces of hope and transformation emerge.
Ashes of the Future, Alexandre Dupeyron
After the devastating fires in the Gironde in 2022, Alexandre Dupeyron captures what remains: charred forests, imbued with a new light. His images tell of disappearance, transformation, and the early signs of rebirth.
Blending ecological insight with poetic vision, the exhibition explores our relationship with nature, its destruction, and how humans cope with what they no longer understand. Even fire becomes an expression of beauty here - and the injured forest, a symbol of new beginnings.
One Millions Years, Jann Höfer & Martin Lamberty
27,000 cubic meters of highly radioactive waste: produced in a short space of time, it will remain dangerous for a million years. This is the dizzying scale on which Germany is currently searching for a repository that can protect humanity for the next millennia.
Through their photographic work, Jann Höfer and Martin Lamberty question our nuclear legacy. How can we pass such a burden to future generations? What will this legacy say about our time, about our relationship to responsibility, to time, to collective memory?
An attempt to make the invisible visible - and to comprehend the unimaginable.

Focus Lituanie, Circulation(s) 2025
As part of its focus on Lithuania, the festival is highlighting various series exploring notions of identity, memory and reality through contemporary artistic approaches. Drawing on themes such as uprooting, media dehumanization and the influence of digital technologies, the works question our perception of others and the world around us. They reveal the tensions between visibility and erasure, authenticity and artifice, while offering a profound reflection on the impact of images in our society.
