Photocollage

Malmö, 2.5 2026 – 27.9 2025

Two parallel presentations are in dialogue with each other at Floor 2. Although there is, in some cases, a difference of up to fifty years between the works, the artists are united in their work with fashion and portrait photography. Both have developed an expression where mainly female subjects appear in images characterised by melancholy and timelessness.

DEBORAH TURBEVILLE – PHOTOCOLLAGE
2.5 2026 – 27.9 2026
Curator: Nathalie Herschdorfer

The exhibition is shown at Floor 2

Photographer Deborah Turbeville (1932–2013) developed a personal and artistic style of fashion photography. Together with photographers such as Guy Bourdin, Sarah Moon and Helmut Newton – all of whom emerged during the 1970s – she broke with the strong visual conventions of the time. Over the years, she had commissions for several famous designers and many of the major fashion magazines. She travelled and worked between New York, Mexico, Paris and Saint Petersburg. The exhibition shows, among other things, her expressive photographs taken in carefully selected environments, as well as the unique photocollages she created.

The exhibition is produced by Photo Elysée, Lausanne, in collaboration with MUUS Collection, New York.
