For its inaugural exhibition, Le Bal brings together eight of the most influential photographers and film-makers of the past 50 years. Their work experiments ways to record this anonymity, by definition an indeterminate, unremarkable notion that escapes visual stereotypes and classification.The focus is on North America. Since the 1930s its mainstream culture has celebrated individuality and the self, while nearly all its important image-makers have addressed the nondescript, the flattening of daily experience and the pervading sense of anonymity.
