Panel discussion — Fashion Photography and the Archive: The Afterlife of Images and the Making of Female Identities
Sat 14 November 2026 15-16h - Book!
On the occasion of Paris Photo and the exhibition PENN & FASHION, the MEP invites you to a panel discussion exploring the relationship between fashion photography, archives and the construction of female identities. Proposed and moderated by Giorgia Basch, curator, publisher and founder of BilderAtlas, the discussion brings together Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director of Photo Elysée and a specialist in the history of fashion photography, and Rita Lino, a visual artist whose work explores identity and self-representation through photography and performance.
