The Centre de la photographie was founded in 1984 by photographers from Geneva for the defense of photography as a fine art. Today, the CPG presents all kinds of productions, distributions and presentations of contemporary photography, with a focus on the fields of urbanism, the "documentary style" and the critique of representation. The CPG presents on average 6 to 7 monographic exhibitions per year, including one, "hors les murs". Every three years, the CPG organizes the "50 Jours pour la photographie" in Geneva in collaboration with the museums, art centres, galleries and libraries of Geneva
