Dolores Marat. Printed by the famous Fresson studio, using an old carbon process popular in the Nineteenth Century with pictorialist photographers, her photographs exude a luxurious and anachronistic style. In this major retrospective for 2003, unseen photographs taken in New York over the last two years will be exhibited alongside her two acclaimed earlier bodies of work: 'Edges' and 'Labyrinthe'.
Dolores Marat
For over ten years celebrated French photographer Dolores Marat's melancholic and dreamlike images have illustrated a view of the modern world that exists on the fringes of reality. In her photographs people and places seem illusory, detached, uncertain and indefinable, drifting in and out of a stream of consciousness.

Dolores Marat lives and works in Paris. Since her first solo exhibition in 1984 she has exhibited at, amongst others, the Centre National de la Photographie, Paris, the Photographers Gallery, London and the Witkin Gallery, New York. She has had three books of her work published in the last ten years and her latest 'New York Odyssey' is published later this year.
