Le Bon Marché rend hommage au photographe Guy Bourdin, disparu en 1991, avec cette exposition éphémère. On y découvre des projections de clips vidéo, de photos et d’instants furtifs qui furent tournés entre 1960 et 1980. Cet aspect parallèle du travail photographique de Guy Bourdin n’avait encore jamais été dévoilé au public.
