From 19-22 November, Paris Photo, the world's leading fair for photography will feature 102 exhibitors who present a worldwide panorama of photographic expression from the 19th Century to the present day. The 2009 edition stands out for its geographical diversity and a sense of discovery: 23 countries, and this year's special focus provides an exceptional opportunity to discover the Arab and Iranian photography scene.

In 2009, Paris Photo turns the spotlight on photographic work from the Arab countries and Iran in what is an unprecedented exploration of the practice in this part of the world. While photography arrived in the region in the 19th century, it is at the turn of the present century that it became the preferred mode of expression on what is today a rich, diverse and autonomous contemporary art scene.

The project is curated by Catherine David who was responsible for Documenta X in Kassel in 1997 as well as numerous exhibitions and publications on Middle Eastern artistic expression.
