The December 5, 2023, episode is dedicated to Bettina Rheims, a leading figure in fashion photography who has never allowed herself to be confined to any one role, and who says with a smile:
"But I didn't really care about clothes,"
In 2021, after closing her studio in Paris (“an absolutely magical place”), the photographer deposited her entire collection at the Institut pour la photographie, consisting of 300,000 photographic prints (archives, contact sheets, etc.) and 600 large prints.
Through December 24, 2023, the Institute is dedicating an exhibition to him Kim Harlow, Stories . This is an opportunity to talk with the photographer about the instinctive curiosity that led her to take an interest in gender identity and transsexuality long before these issues became major topics of public discussion.
