Gitty Darugar

On the occasion of the Mois de la Photo in Paris.

Gitty Darugar, a former student of Sven Nykvist, has been building a body of photographic work since the 1980s devoted primarily to architecture and its creators.

The combined strength and sensitivity of these architects have captivated and inspired the photographer, who presents here unpublished portraits of some of them : Jean Nouvel, Christian de Portzamparc, Peter Zumthor, Mario Botta, David Chipperfield, Herzog & de Meuron, Ettore Sottsass…

Gitty Darugar’s renowned body of work is held in the collections of some of the most prestigious museums around the world : Centre Georges Pompidou, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Museo Alinari Firenze…
