Sabine Weiss: Poetry of the Instant

Mar 11 – Oct 23, 2022
Santa Marta - Fabbricato 17 30123 Venezia

Three years before her centenary, the Swiss-French photographer Sabine Weiss passed away at home, in her studio apartment in Paris. She was born in Switzerland in 1924, learned photography there, and then moved to Paris in 1946, when life was re-blossoming after the war. Weiss traveled the world and worked across disciplines, documenting fashion, artists, musicians, the literati, street life, and the faces of children. She was one of the most prolific female photographers of her time. This retrospective embraces Weiss’s extensive output, which begins in 1935 and goes until her death in 2021. —Elena Clavarino
