Dana Lixenberg — American Images

Dana Lixenberg has spent decades documenting the faces of the United States, treating with equal dignity legends of hip-hop such as Biggie Smalls or Tupac Shakur and anonymous citizens from Los Angeles. Her work at the photographic studio imposes a slowness and accuracy rare, freezing instants of raw truth far from media artifice. The Maison Européenne de la Photographie brings together these arresting portraits that tell a collective story made of intimacy and resilience. From February 25 to April 29, 2026, families will enjoy privileged access: speakers guide children and adults through these visual narratives during school holidays. This is an opportunity to approach documentary photography from a human and accessible angle, while appreciating the precision of a major artist of our time.
