Artpress Dossier on Photographic Portraiture: Exorbitant Portraits
The December 1987 issue of artpress features a dossier on photographic portraiture titled 'Portrait exhorbités'. The term 'exorbité' is defined as that which leaves the orbit (the frame, the genre, the meaning) or the beaten path, while 'exhorbitant' refers to that which exceeds boundaries or just measure. The dossier explores portraits that deviate from conventional representation, pushing the limits of the genre.
