On Tuesday 21 June 2011 six photographers were assigned different areas of the City to photograph. Some used tripods, some went hand held, one set up a 5 x 4.
All were instructed to keep to public land and photograph the area as they would on a normal day. The event aimed to test the policing of public and private space by private security firms and their reaction to photographers.
All six photographers were stopped on at least one occasion. Three encounters led to police action.

Photographers Remi Benali and Patrick Landmann have spent 10 weeks working with Luc Long and a team of archaeologists and divers who have been excavating the Rhone River. The Roman Treasures that they have found, unseen for 2000 years, include a marble portrait of Julius Caesar, the only carved while he was alive, a gold-leaf statue of Victory and a bronze captive awaiting his death sentence. All are considered to be chefs d'oeuvres by the French Ministry of Culture and can be seen now at the Musée Départemental de l'Arles antique.
