THE ARMORY SHOW 2017

For its second participation to The Armory Show, the gallery Jérôme Poggi is devoting a monographic project to Sophie Ristelhueber, one of the major figures of contemporary art whose work has marked the history of photography since the 1980s. Focusing on so-called «wounded» landscape as Jacques Rancière wrote, mainly related to the cradle of our universal history in the Middle East, the booth gathers some of the most iconic works of Ristelhueber, including some very singular vintage photos from her founding series made in Beyrouth in the early 1980’s, as well as some of her most recent works.
