The sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930 - 2002 France) inspired market researchers in the 80ies with a new methodology: he searches for information about societies in their relation to the symbolic context. The exhibition presents his field work (artistic photography) in Algeria between 1958 and 1961 in relation to his ethnographic and sociological studies. next>>>
