SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art and Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal present the exhibition Trevor Paglen. In addition to being part of the 13th edition of Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal, this exhibition is presented within the framework of SBC's Focus Program on sovereignty.

For its 13th edition, Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal has invited renowned British curator Paul Wombell to develop an exhibition program around his theme, Drone: The Automated Image. From September 5 to October 5, 2013, 25 exhibitions deployed in different sites will transform the city into a vast yet coherent photography exhibition. This event will chart the changing relationship between the camera and the human body.
