Dissect: Meghann Riepenhoff's Living Photographs at Paris Photo

During Paris Photo 2019, the Dissect initiative, led by Emanuele Quinz and Samuel Bianchini, explored the cyanotype creations of Meghann Riepenhoff. Born in 1979, Riepenhoff is represented by Yossi Milo Gallery and Jackson Fine Art, and she specializes in large photographic objects. Her notable series encompass Littoral Drift, Ecotone, and pieces involving human waste. The discussion centered on her work Chronograph, where each page undergoes treatment with cyanotype chemicals and is exposed to light each day. Panelists including Emmanuel Alloa, Federica Chiocchetti, Luce Lebart, Emanuele Quinz, Pascal Viel, and Dork Zabunyan addressed the work's performative aspects and market difficulties. Dissect, created within EnsadLab's Reflective Interaction group, premiered at Centre Pompidou in March 2019, with a follow-up set for Berlin's Tieranatomisches Theater.
