October soirée
‘In the Footsteps of Atget’ – Artist’s Talk by Julie Mahnken
A practising artist and member of Alliance Franҫaise de Ballarat, Julie will speak about her artwork and explorations in Paris in 2018.
Her project draws on the tradition of the artist’s travel journal and was undertaken to discover sites captured by the photographer Eugene Atget in the early 1900s.
Atget’s evocative Black and White images record a Paris that was disappearing in his time. Many sites exist now only as images, yet some have endured in physical reality.
Through sketches and photographs made around the city, Julie’s work retraces some of those remaining sites as well as other hidden places, exploring the nature of time through the mediums of charcoal and ink.
Details of the soirée are available through the October newsletter.
