Suzanne Lafont is one of the most important figures on the French photographic scene. Her work has been highly visible since the 1990s. Solo exhibitions at the Jeu de Paume and MoMA in 1992. Lafont's photographic work is broadly based, drawing on references to theater, performance art, cinema and literature. In the introduction, 468 of these data are organized in the form of a slide show (Index). The exhibition then develops around the figure of the actor/performer. This protagonist first activates the spectator's space. Finally, he reappears in an adaptation of a literary tale, Edgar Allan Poe's The Mystery of Marie Roget.
