autoportraits of some of the photographers involved in the 1984 french project. Here, Gabrielle Basilico and Raymond Depardon



La Mission Photographique de la Datar Hazan was an important photographic mission organised by the DATAR (Délégation à l’aménagement du territoire et à l’action régionale), sending photographers on assignments all over France, inspired by the "Mission héliographique" of the XIXth Century, or the work done for the "Farm Security Administration" by Walker Evans and others. On this mission there were about 30 photographers, working on and off for years, of which Holger Trülsch, Gilbert Fastenaekens, Werner Hannapel, Gabriele Basilico, Hervé Rabot, Tom Drahos, Robert Doisneau, Joseph Koudelka, and Lewis Baltz.

Also on show at Atelier, works of Lewis Baltz and the new topographics of the 1970's.

Vespa 98 by Corradino D’Ascanio Piaggio 1946-47. "The Vespa has an unusual shape resulting from a load-bearing shell frame which has been used in aeronautics, and its name is a playful reference to that shape. The Vespa symbolises freedom. It’s also a product that demonstrates how design can make use of prefabricated components, and how it is a combination of industrial production, practical function and an attractive appearance". (Michele De Lucchi)
