Présentation

The discreet and secluded life of a woman with a surname that embodies the myth of the origins of photographic art, visited with tact and poetry by the lens of Antonella Monzoni. Images full of intimacy that reveal the secret of the existence of Henriette Niépce, grand daughter of one of the fathers of the “fatal invention”, first wife of the director Gillo Pontecorvo and sister of the famous Janine, one of the first photo reporters. Shots in color but that "resonate" as in an ancient and deep black and white. This is how Gianni Berengo Gardin talks about it in the preface: "I, who see photography only in black and white, found in this delicate reportage a wise use of color which, for some shots in particular, is undoubtedly the most suitable language for narration. "
