The gallery
Sit Down Gallery was launched by Françoise Bornstein in 2005, in Paris's historic Le Marais quarter. Since 2013, the Gallery has been devoted largely to contemporary French and international photography, with a particular interest in documentary photography.
The Sit Down Gallery is also interested in artists seeking to transcend photography by crossing and interchanging with other media, and by questioning the limits of its mimetic use.
