The CPIF (Centre Photographique d’Île-de-France) in Pontault-Combault, France, dedicates a solo exhibition to Valérie Jouve entitled “The World is a Shelter”.

A few years after her major retrospective at the Jeu de Paume, Valérie Jouve has a new exhibition at the Centre Photographique d’Île-de-France. Comprising around 60 works and a previously unseen film “Porte d’Aubervilliers” from 2020, it brings together images that are emblematic of her work and new photos arranged into carefully designed ensembles that testify to her continued interest in the relationship between people and their environment.

This monographic exhibition highlights the first necessity for every living being to shelter. The artist leads us to rethink about the notion of shelter whether natural or constructed.
