Contacts — Storyline
Based on an idea by William Klein, CONTACTS is a series of 33 essential films to discover the artistic itinerary of the most important contemporary photographers in the world from an original perspective: through the images selected and commented on by the author himself (sheets of contact, proofs or slides), we enter the secret universe of creative work, at the very heart of the process of making a photographic work.
