At the Hôtel national des Invalides, the Musée de l'Armée unveils a large number of photos tracing the complex relationship between photography and war, from the Siege of Rome to the current war in Syria, including the two world conflicts and the wars of decolonization. The public discovers images that permeate our collective memory and that were produced with multiple objectives: to inform, document, convince, prove or denounce. An exhibition in Paris that is not dedicated to conflicts, but to their representations, with scenes of fighting, landscapes in ruins, portraits of civilians and images of victory.
