LEE FRIEDLANDER FRAMED BY JOEL COEN
LUMA Arles is presenting Lee Friedlander Framed by Joel Coen, an exhibition born out of the collaboration between the US photographer and the renowned filmmaker. Through 70 photographs and a film, the exhibition takes a look back at Lee Friedlander's 60-year career. Joel Coen's choice encapsulates his singular approach to composition and unveils an unlikely kinship between the two artists: they both explore with equal fascination the insidious power of images—fragmented frames, deceitful composition, disjointed shots, mirror effects. As a true cinematic mise en abyme, the exhibition displays the prints like strange, anonymous, individual tiny tales.
Curator: Matthieu Humery.
