A biennial dedicated to contemporary photographyPhotoquai was designed by the Quai Branly Museum as a contemporary biennial dedicated to non-Western visual arts. Its purpose has raised the interest of the institutions located along the Seine. They were approached by the Quai Branly Museum to be partners of the first edition of
Photoquai.
For the first edition 2007 - which combines outside exhibitions promenade to silver prints display within institutions, as well as forums and workshops, the heart of the project lies mainly between the Eiffel Tower and the Pont de l 'Alma.
The Seine is the core symbolic anchor of the event; in accordance with the "popular" nature of the event, Photoquai proposes, along with exhibitions scheduled within partner institutions, street exhibitions, free of charge to the general public, on the docks the Seine along the Quai Branly museum. These exhibitions are the heart of Photoquai, and make the link between the different institutions.

photoquai : 3 exhibitions at the quai Branly museumWest Gallery (suspended)Two photographic exhibitions are presented simultaneously in the space usually dedicated to the main anthropology exhibition.
Ruby’s Room (1998-2007)Ruby's Room (1998-2007)October 30, 2007-January 13, 2008
Commissioner: Yves Le Fur, Deputy Director and Heritage Collections at the Quai Branly Museum.This series of very large images testify of the original glaze that the artist focuses on childhood, through an exploration of "what children do with their mouths". Respected figure of photography in New Zealand, Anne Noble talks about his work as an "alternative" archeology. Dedicated to the artist's daughter, Ruby, the series of forty photographs has been unveiled to the public in New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Spain. Thanks to a scale voluntarily disproportionate to the apparent banality of the subject, the use of contrasting colors and that direct flash, the artist seeks to emphasize in an unusual manner details of a body part, the mouth, in its many functions symbolic food, speech, language, and so on.
Camera obscura, the first daguerreotype portraits (1841-1851) October 30, 2007-January 13, 2008
Commissioner Christine Barthe, head of photographic collections of the Quai Branly Museum.The museum maibtain among its collections of old photographs a set of particularly outstanding daguerreotypes, some of which were shown at the "D’un regard l’Autre" exhibition. Moved to the West Gallery next to "Ruby's Room", another photographic exhibition consisting of large colorful prints, The Daguerréotypes plays on contrast of formats, colors, and technology - proposing a fugitive image through perceived reflection. This exhibition will present more particularly daguerreotypes made in East Africa by Charles Guillain, frigate captain, between 1846 and 1848.

Curious and inventive mind, Edward Steichen (1879-1973) was one of the most prolific and influential photographers in the history of photography in the twentieth century. This Luxembourg borned American original co-founded with Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 the Photo Secession group, and actively participates in the magazine Camera Work. He is both a painter and photographer. As a photographer, he produced portraits, landscapes, still lifes, nudes, he exercises his talents in fashion photography, dance, theater, flowers, in advertising, as well as a war photographer and aerial photography.It seems no genre could escapes his innovative eye. Graphic design, typography, art direction also provide a fertile ground for his creativity.
Condé Nast, seduced by his pictorialist photographs gave him in 1923 the artistic direction for Vogue and Vanity Fair.
This exhibition is organized by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography (Minneapolis) and the Musée de l'Elysee (Lausanne), in partnership with the Jeu de Paume.
