Abstract (en)

Criticises the theory, elaborated in the catalogue of the exhibition Mary-Jo Lafontaine (London, Whitechapel Art Gallery, 1989, and touring), behind her piece entitled Savoir, retenir et fixer ce qui est sublime, which consisted of 17 large, similarly posed and lit, photographic portraits of young women of mixed race.
