Irving Penn

PHOTOGRAPHS 1939 – 2007

Masterpieces from the Collection of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris

Irving Penn (1917–2009) left a lasting mark on fashion photography, portraiture, and still life in our time with his distinctive style. Many of his works have become true icons in the history of photography, all characterized by exquisite elegance, meticulous attention to detail, and a unique print quality. The Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris houses one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Irving Penn’s work, now presented in this extraordinary exhibition.

Silvia Camporesi

The Right Time and Place

In Silvia Camporesi’s photographs, places undeniably hold a central role: real, imaginary, transformed, invented, lived in, distorted or, instead, simply found places. They are uncanny spaces, floating within atmospheres of suspended time, hiding mysteries and secret narratives. Yet these places, these photographs are the end point, the tangible result of something far more essential and fundamental to her work as an artist: the path itself, the experience, the journey through and alongside the space and time of her research and design. Within that eternal challenge to certainties that photography embodies: to exist perpetually on the threshold of multiple borders and identities.

Real Bodies and Imagined Bodies

Identity, belonging, the construction of meaning

A journey that explores the body as an unstable space, in constant dialectic between what we see, what we are and what we project. Here the body is not understood as a mere physical presence but as a field of tensions: a place of experience, desire, discipline and transformation.
