Gisèle Freund: The Life of a Story-Teller with Camera, Retold

ABSTRACT

This re-appraisal of Berlin-born, French-naturalized, Jewish photographer and sociologist Gisèle Freund’s life highlights her transformative years in exile in Argentina and debunks the much-reiterated construction of her career. While her innovative slide show lectures stand out, her status as a concerned photojournalist comes into question.
