T for... Transfer

 On the principle of an ABC....  : In the form of an open dialogue with the public, this programme of gatherings launched in 2006 explored the museum's collections and the vocabulary of contemporary art.

Nancy Wilson-Pajic, invited by Christian Lacroix in 2008 , uses the cyanotype, a special photogram technique, to construct an image that lies on the boundary of the pictorial and the photographic. The interplay of photosensitive surface equation, photographic emulsions and light enables this transfer to be made through direct contact. This imprint, partly floating, partly dissolving, explores at length the order of obliteration, of recollection, of fading memories. Nancy Wilson-Pajic is one of the precursors of la photographie plasticienne.
