Photo Elysée recently paid tribute to Deborah Turbeville, an American photographer recognised in the 1970s for her fashion photographs. But Turbeville is much more than that; it is a work on photography and its materiality. In collaboration with the MUUS collection, Photo Elysée allows us to discover a true female artist.
It’s challenging to classify Deborah Turbeville’s (1932-2013) work because her oeuvre is rich in research and diverse use of photography. Through the “Photocollage” exhibition, Photo Elysée reveals the artistic dimension of Deborah Turbeville’s work, extracting it somewhat from the box of “fashion photographer.” It is true that this is how she is mostly known in the industry.
