In partnership with Quai de la Photo and as part of the Biennale of Photography of the 13th arrondissement of Paris City Hall, Polka Galerie and its Factory present the works of two photographers, Janine Niépce and Emma Ball-Greene. The theme of this year’s Biennale being “Childhood, Adolescence, and Youth”, it is youth in the broad sense that Polka aims to celebrate with these two artists.
Although the paths of Janine Niépce and Emma Ball-Greene never crossed, their photographs share a spontaneous and direct style that reveals unique perspectives on youth, a fertile period of self-discovery, of others, and of the world.
Two women, two generations. Two women, two distinct yet complementary artistic visions of youth, presented with sensitivity and authenticity.
