Mathieu Pernot
Survival
Survival takes a unique direction within the work Mathieu Pernot carried out over a twenty-year period among communities of Tsigane. A protean narrative of the history of this minority is put together in installations, photographs, sound recordings, and archival documents. The photographic works Pernot produced in Romania in 1998, on a grant from the Villa Médicis Hors Les Murs program, are shown here for the first time. This journey, a singular episode in the author’s career, displays with simplicity the power of place, and the strength of the faces that stood before the camera. These photographs offer a silent movement across the reality of Tsigane communities in Eastern Europe.
Discover Mathieu Pernot’s other exhibition, The Gorgans at the Maison des Peintres.
