Ninety photographs presenting the backbone of Patrick Faigenbaum’s black-and-white work from 1973 to today, mostly previously unpublished and paced like a musical score in which silence and sound, intimacy and exteriority progress together. From solemn portraits of Italian aristocratic families in the 1980s to his wife and mother against plain backgrounds, rural scenes at Lys-Chantilly and street scenes in Barcelona, Prague and Bremen.
