For the first time in Paris, Tania Franco Klein will exhibit her work at Les filles du calvaire gallery. Two of her major series will be showcased on rue Chapon: Break in Case of Emergency and Subject Studies. Break in Case of Emergency stems from Klein's fascination with catharsis, an Aristotelian concept: a process that allows for the regulation or annihilation of passions by staging them in tragedy. In her cinematic self-portraits, she depicts our modern anxieties. These images, dazzling in their surrealism, evoke a multitude of deep emotions from our contemporary psyche. Subject Studies is an anthropological project that examines the perception of the gaze and the bias of viewers when confronted with images of strangers in the same exact context. By constantly recreating the same tableaux with different subjects, the project explores how each viewer’s cultural and personal background influences their perception of the scene and the characters on it.
