Départ Pour L'Image is an independent publishing lab based in Milan, founded in 2018 by photographer Francesca Todde and artist Luca Reffo. Its name comes from the inscription stamped on the film of some French movies useful to indicate their verso for reel-to-reel assembly and cinema projection. The editorial line focuses on the possibilities of the image on the border between photography and contemporary art, working in close collaboration with the artists. Occasionally, Départ Pour L'Image also curates exhibitions.
