Catalogue Note
Tandis que Diane Arbus prend de nombreux portraits en pied d’inconnus dans la rue, la photographe applique également une approche systématique autour de la sélection de ses personnages - en référence à sa série au Sunshine Park, un camp nudiste du New Jersey où elle passe une semaine en juillet 1963.
Nourrie par l’intérêt de découvrir les traits caractéristiques et révélateurs de ses sujets, elle explore la frontière entre leur apparence physique et leur identité personnelle - révélée à travers des indices sur leur personnalité, leur profession ou de leur mode de vie.
