On the occasion of the release of Valérie Belin publication The Uncertain Beauty of the World and the exhibition at the MUba Eugène Leroy in Tourcoing, Valérie Belin will present her work in dialogue with Mélanie Lerat, director of the MUba Eugène Leroy, in the Jeu de Paume auditorium. The discussion will be followed by a book signing in the Museum’s bookshop.

This monograph offers, through about thirty series, to discover the whole of Valérie Belin’s work, from the 1970s to the present day, and to examine how her different series respond to each other, evolve and question our relationship to beauty, artifice and the impermanence of things. From the shooting to the retouching work, the photographer creates by successive touches and layers, like a painter playing on the ambivalence between the living and the artificial.
