Press release - Exhibition includes four monumental photographs of Nazi bunkers along French Atlantic coast
LOS ANGELES – For nearly 30 years, Jane and Louise Wilson, identical twin sisters, have worked together to create large-scale photographs and video installations that revisit the locations and events that shaped modern European history, from secret police headquarters in East Germany to the nuclear facility in Chernobyl, Ukraine.

Exhibition : « Conflict, Time, Photography » at the Museum Folkwang
"Conflict, Time, Photography" presents the many facets of the artistic portrayal of armed conflicts using the medium of photography.

Hypnotic Suggestion 505, presented for the first time in Oporto in 1993, in the context of the exhibition Walter Benjamin's Briefcase, curated by Andrew Renton, is based on a Jean Cocteau idea on the hypnotic effect...
