Lecture on Japanese photography and tattooing at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum
On Wednesday 22 April at 6.45 pm, Pascal Bagot will give a talk at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum in Chalon-sur-Saône.
This talk will highlight the photographic record left by Akimitsu Takagi, who documented the world of traditional tattooing in Tokyo in the 1950s. A rare insight into a Japanese artistic practice that is at once cultural, social and aesthetic.
An event to mark the bicentenary of photography
This lecture forms part of the programme at the Nicéphore Niépce Museum, an iconic venue dedicated to the history of photography.
Located in Chalon-sur-Saône, the town is recognised as the birthplace of photography. It was here that Nicéphore Niépce produced the very first known permanent photograph in 1827.
From 2026 through to 2027, this exceptional heritage will be celebrated to mark the bicentenary of the invention of photography, a major event for lovers of images and history.
