The exhibition Agnès Varda’s Paris, from here to there explores the work of Agnès Varda (1928-2019) from a fresh angle.
It showcases the artist’s still little-known photographic work and highlights the important role of her courtyard-studio on the rue Daguerre in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, in her life and creation, from 1951 to 2019. On a broader level, the exhibition reveals the importance of the French capital in a free and prolific body of work that never took the easy way out but skilfully wove a dialogue between documentary and fiction.
The result of more than two years of research, this exhibition is based primarily on Agnès Varda’s photographic collection and Ciné-Tamaris archives. It compares her photographic and cinematic work through an ensemble of 130 prints, many of which have never been seen before, as well as excerpts from films shot entirely or partly in Paris.
It also presents publications, documents, objects belonging to the artist, posters, photographs from various film shoots, and even a sculpture of her cat Nini.
