From the encounter between Lee Shulman / The Anonymous Project and Omar Victor Diop was born Being There series, at the crossroads of the two artists’ universes.
As a specialist of self-portraits, the Senegalese photographer introduces himself into the vernacular slide images of The Anonymous Project collection. Work of staging and re-assembling of the images orchestrated by Shulman, the series revisits in about sixty works the archetypes of the Trente Glorieuses society. These augmented pictures question the foundations of our contemporary society. By repairing absence, Being There opens a conversation on our history.
Binome and Magnin-A galleries, representing the two artists respectively, are delighted to present Being There at Photo London. A unique collaboration between two artists and their galleries in support of a powerful project, also supported by the publication of the eponymous book by Textuel Editions.
