Greetings:

Tonight, Tuesday, at Meta House, an artist talk by photographer Marylise Vigneau, based in Austria and Pakistan.  “Raised in a Parisian family with many skeletons in its cupboards, she developed an early taste for investigation and justice.   Despite her fascination with literature, her mode of expression has become photography over time, without her knowing precisely why – maybe the mix of precision, immediacy, truth, and lies which is behind every image.”
