Five photographers share the spotlight at Objectif FEMMES
· BehindLines newsroom
Five photographic approaches will share the salons of the town hall in Paris's 9th arrondissement. The collective exhibition for the eleventh edition of Objectif FEMMES is announced for 10–22 November 2026. It sits within a longer programme: the municipal schedule lists the festival from 3 to 30 November.
The selection combines works by Coco Amardeil and Lisa Miquet with those by Flore Prébay, Yasmine Lavoine and Victoria Vinas. Fabienne Pavia, the publisher heading Le Bec en l'air, supports this edition as its patron. The event aims to give greater visibility to women working in contemporary photography.
Looking at each approach separately
The organiser's presentation reveals several ways of approaching images. Coco Amardeil explores connections between myths and representations of the body. Yasmine Lavoine focuses on intimacy within a couple. Flore Prébay's series Onirique brings photography into dialogue with sensation and references to painting.
Bringing these approaches together does not mean that all five artists address a single subject. For visitors, the collective format offers a chance to compare staging choices, atmospheres and ways of representing human relationships, without reducing the selection to one shared aesthetic.
Three stages during the same month
The dates deserve particular attention. The first stage, devoted to Murmures by LiliRoze, was scheduled for 3–8 November. The five photographers' exhibition starts on the 10th. A third presentation, Volume, bringing together Laura Bonnefous and Nina Olivet, is announced for 24–30 November.
November 9 therefore falls between two stages of the published schedule. Visitors wishing to discover the 2026 selection should keep the 10–22 November window in mind, rather than only the festival's overall dates.
