EXHIBITIONS
BEYOND BORDERS — PORTRAITS & FASHION
MCCORD MUSEUM MONTREAL (MAY – OCTOBER 2024)
This original exhibition, with its exuberant scenography, features the artistic, editorial and commercial photography that these photographers practice with equal ease and talent, as well as their more personal work. Accustomed to collaborating with major fashion magazines, the advertising world and the music scene, they capture images that are sometimes stripped of all artifice, sometimes sophisticatedly cinematic, but always imbued with great sensitivity towards their models – whether famous or unknown.In addition to stunning fashion photographs, a gallery of over a hundred unprecedented iconic portraits unfolds before our eyes, from Céline Dion, U2 and Charlotte Cardin to Nelson Mandela, Zidane, Elisapie, Adele, Barbie Ferreira, Mika and Les Louanges. Around twenty videos were created for the occasion, including a multisurface projection by the creative team at Rodeo FX. These contents provide exclusive insight into the artistic methods of the photographers, along with interviews from artists whose portraits are featured in the exhibition.
