The bookshop is delighted to welcome the Franco-Dominican artist for the launch of her book Another Love Story, published by Mörel Books, one year after her eponymous exhibition at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris.
The event will be moderated by Clothilde Morette, Head of Programming at the MEP.
Another Love Story has its origins in a personal story. The artist presents a series of photographs and texts that reconstruct and replay the last months of her love affair with a man before the discovery of his double life. What do you do when you find yourself dispossessed of your history? Karla Hiraldo Voleau decides to reappropriate this story, re-enacting different moments in their affair. With the help of a model, a look-alike of her former companion, whom she hires for the project, she reproduces, identically, the shots taken in the intimate setting of her relationship… The image fails to capture the truth of a relationship, and yields to the desire to expose the feeling of love that remains, in the end, elusive.
