Peggy Kleiber « De l’Ombre à la Lumière »

Peggy Kleiber (1940-2015) photographed from the early 1960s until 1990, a period of almost three decades during which she documented family, social and political subjects. For her, the family was more than a private retreat. With sensitivity and photographic precision, she documented family rituals, celebrations and everyday gestures over decades. She also photographed people, political movements and landscapes in Italy, her second home. Other parts of her archive record travels to Prague, New York and many other places. Her photographs reveal the unseen, the personal within the political always marked by intimacy, subtlety and an independent approach to the medium. She photographed continuously from the early 1960s until 1990, a period of profound change in both her personal life and across Europe.
