Alix Cléo Roubaud (1952-1983) had a very active photographical production, through which she infused philosophy and literature. Taken too early, her work was still unknown to the general public until the Bnf (the French National Library) decided to organise this exhibition of more than 200 of her photographs, along with some previously unpublished texts and documents. Through this retrospective, visitors can discover the scope of Alix Cléo Roubaud’s work, who was married to Jacques Roubaud and a close friend of movie director Jean Eustache, who dedicated her a short-film. The exhibition includes some self-portraits, experimental photographs, landscape pictures, etc. It is moreover the first time her series Si quelque chose noir, a mix of darkness and light, of brightness and shade, is fully made public.

“Alix Cléo Roubaud: 15 minutes overnight at breathing rythm” exhibition, from October 28^th 2014 to February 1^st 2015.
Open Tuesday-Saturday from 10am to 7pm, and on Sunday from 1pm to 7pm.
Closed on bank holidays.
Full rate: €9 / Concession: €7.
