Faten Gaddes,
portrait
Faten Gaddes has been
travelling the world
to immortalise the many
facets of humanity, with
only her camera and a
backdrop of the 1930s.
The story begins in Tunis, when
the
Tunisian-French
photographer
finds in the back of a garage an old
photography studio setting. This pastel-
coloured canvas, with a kitsch-like look,
will be the basis of her project, the link
between all the faces and personalities
who will pose in front her camera.
Then begins the adventure “My Tunis”,
a series of portraits gathering in a same
book the different social classes on
the 1930s background. Faten Gaddes
succeeds in bringing together an
unemployed young man, a politician
and an artist to capture a smile, some
emotion in the eyes, while striking a
pose that decimate social divisions.
Accustomed to portrait photography,
Faten Gaddes pursues her human
experience in the Goutte d’Or streets,
one of the most cosmopolitan areas
of Paris. “Ma Goutte d’Or” collection
reveals irresistible women, alongside
traditional musicians and religious men.
She finally settled down in New York,
then in Marrakech to devote her work
to make moments of human existence
eternal.
