Pigalle

Pigalle – Yan Morvan is recognized as one of the great contemporary specialists in war photography, which constitutes his first reports. He worked for Libération and then, as a member of Sipa Press and permanent correspondent for the American weekly Newsweek, he covered the main conflicts in the world. Periodically, he returns to France and produces reports on the margins of society. In 1994, he devoted himself to an immersion in Pigalle, its cabarets, sex shops and other swingers’ clubs. He brings back portraits of characters of the night, images in color or black and white of the other side of the scene, of the marginals of the sidewalks where men and women come to seek the thrill of transgression in the night.
