From L’Espace:
Composed of about 600 cyanotype prints (monochrome photographic technique), “Another Expedition” exhibition brings together various botanical and geological specimens from the famous Monet’s gardens at Giverny.
Pipo Nguyen Duy patiently collected his samples, exposed them to different lights depending on the time of day and then assembled different prints in a composition that reminds us about the lily of Claude Monet, garden’s owner.
A panel discussion will follow the opening, on the various photographic processes, with the participation of Maika Elan and Le Nguyen Duy Phuong.
