Agnès Varda. Here and There, Paris-Rome

The Villa Médicis pays tribute to the little-known photographic work of Agnès Varda, a pioneer of the New Wave who also left behind a remarkable photographic oeuvre. This exhibition presents a selection of images capturing Paris through the singular gaze of a filmmaker accustomed to observing the world. Her images reveal a keen sensitivity to the details of everyday life, spontaneous portraits, and urban scenes full of poetry. Varda documented her adopted city with an insatiable curiosity, transforming each photograph into a snapshot of life. Her cinematic approach is reflected in the composition of her images, where each frame tells a story. This exhibition offers the opportunity to discover a less known facet of the artist, complementing an understanding of her multidisciplinary work. A touching tribute to a creator who was able to cross eras with elegance and commitment.
