A. Galerie, a contemporary photography gallery located at 4 rue Léonce Reynaud in Paris's 16th arrondissement, presents LA F.AI.M, a new exhibition by British artist and photographer Rankin, from September 10 to October 24, 2026. The title draws on the French word « faim » (“hunger”): the exhibition explores the force that drives an artist to create—the desire, curiosity, obsession, and irresistible need to produce—at a time when artificial intelligence can generate almost any image. In recent years, Rankin has immersed himself in generative AI and produced several thousand images, creating one of the largest bodies of generative photographic work by a contemporary photographer. The exhibition spans portraiture, sculpture, fashion, mythology, religion, and art history, asking a simple question: what remains human when anyone can generate an image? For Rankin, the answer lies not in the final image, but in the desire that brought it into being. Opening reception on Thursday, September 10, 2026, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hours: Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
