The point of departure for the exhibition is the large-scale exhibition of Marcel Lefrancq’s photos called Aux mains de la lumière and the accompanying catalogue that were compiled by the Charleroi Museum of Photography in 2003. The exhibition mostly includes Lefrancq’s photos from the museum’s collection that date from the 1930s to 1950s. In cooperation with private collections in Belgium, Lefrancq’s early collages are also being exhibited.
