On the occasion of the centenary of Marc Riboud’s birth, the Musée des Confluences offers a major retrospective of his works. Through a hundred photographs, the museum immerses us in the universe of the photographer-traveler, witness to the great societal transformations throughout the world.

To accompany this exhibition, Atelier EXB is publishing the monograph For the long haul (to be published in March 2023) presenting the iconic works as well as several unpublished series. With its large album format and portfolios of contact sheets, a nod to the pioneers of photography, the book takes us from the first itineraries to the abstract visual explorations of the 2000’s where the photographic becomes painting. An essay by journalist and writer Éric Fottorino sheds light on this visual corpus.
