Edouard Boubat. « Un sourire, svp » : une exposition signée Luigi Li et Little Shao. La Fondation Abbé Pierre organise une exposition de photographies, « Un sourire, svp », en collaboration avec les artistes Luigi Li et Little Shao. Cette manifestation se tiendra du 29 octobre au 17 novembre 2013, au Point Éphémère (200 quai de Valmy, Paris 10e ). Cette exposition, qui rassemble une quinzaine de clichés sur le thème de la mendicité, met les pancartes de cartons des sans-abri à l’honneur, sur un ton décalé et plein d’humour.

Once taken simply to document their present, they now help us witness the past. Perhaps the wars, poverty, fights for freedom and little miracles of the past have lessons for us that we can use today?
