THE SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE STORES HOST THE FRENCH-URUGUAYAN ARTIST BETTINA PITTALUGA FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL EXHIBITION IN PARIS AND LOS ANGELES. BETTINA PITTALUGA’S APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY IS VERY MUCH ABOUT INSTINCT, PHYSICALITY, THE SENSES AND THE CREATION OF A NATURAL LUMINOSITY.

THE ARTIST CASTS HER BENEVOLENT AND DELICATE GAZE ON INDIVIDUALS LIVING THEIR LIVES IN THE SHADOWS, ENABLING US TO ENTER THEIR MOST SECRET PLACES, AROUSING EMOTIONS AND REACTIONS IN US WHICH ARE FAR FROM MERELY AESTHETIC. WORKING ONLY IN NON-DIGITAL, MEDIUM-FORMAT FILM, THE ARTIST PRINTS ALL HER OWN PHOTOS.

ANTHONY VACCARELLO HAS SELECTED 16 KEY ARTWORKS OF THE ARTIST’S PHOTOGRAPHS EXHIBITED IN BOTH SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE STORES, INCLUDING DOURANE, PARIS, C. 2018 AND CATHYIA, SARCELLES, C. 2017.

ON THIS OCCASION, A THIRD ISSUE OF THE FANZINE IS AVAILABLE IN STORES, FEATURING BETTINA PITTALUGA’S PHOTOGRAPHS.
