Balthus, Michel Leiris, or Henri Cartier-Bresson; Marc Chagall with a mischievous look; Sam Szafran in his studio in Montrouge; Paul Strand holding a plate camera… These are just a few of the artists and intellectuals—sometimes in cahoots, sometimes amused, often surprised, or “caught off guard” at the last moment—captured by Martine Franck’s lens. Personalities from the worlds of art and literature who have left (and continue to leave) a body of work to be seen by an audience itself captured by the photographer’s eye. Thus, visitors to the Prado in Madrid and the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, captured in profile, fascinated or prostrate before a master’s work. Martine Franck has a knack for playing with mise en abîme.
But alongside the artists and their audiences, portraits of boisterous children ready to break out of the frame, landscapes with geometric compositions, and performers always on the move, there is also a chaotic world: humanitarian reports, images of poverty and destitution, tragic excesses, and still others depicting the sad world of the elderly, at the very end of their lives, destitute. From One Day to the Next brings together a visual selection curated by the artist, reflecting these inexhaustible themes.
