Taryn Simon expose son étonnante démarche photographique : révéler des mondes et des gens que nous ne pourrions pas voir autrement. Elle nous présente deux projets : le premier montre des lieux hors-limites, tenus secrets du grand public, le deuxième des portraits obsédants d'hommes condamnés pour des crimes qu'ils n'ont pas commis.

With a large-format camera and a knack for talking her way into forbidden zones, Taryn Simon photographs portions of the American infrastructure inaccessible to its inhabitants. Full bio »
