Since its creation, the Rencontres de la jeune photographie internationale has welcomed photographers each year for a unique creative residency. At the end of the residency, the works created are kept by the Villa Pérochon, constituting a unique photographic collection. This collection has been built up through a number of purchases, donations and productions by the Villa Pérochon, and thanks to a donation from the L’œil écoute association in Limoges at the time of its closure.
