Guest Room:
Alejandro León Cannock & Delphine Manjard

Guest room is a format that fosters collaboration and sparks creative exchange. For this edition, Arles-based Alejandro León Cannock (Director, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation and Delphine Manjard (Director, Librairie du Palais) are exploring the theme "Have You Checked Your Screen Time? Forms and Logics of Excess."

This edition of Guest Room brings together photographic projects that deal with excess not as a topic, but as a condition of the present. Excess is understood as a core logic of today’s capitalist system. Photography becomes a method to question, expose, and reflect on this condition, even when doing so also puts the photographic image itself into question. Photography is understood here in its expanded sense, encompassing documentary images, constructed scenes, archival material, moving images, and hybrid forms that respond differently to the same condition.
