Isabelle Huppert as Photographic Muse in 'La Femme aux portraits'

A new album titled 'La Femme aux portraits' features actress Isabelle Huppert as the subject of photographs by various artists. The title, meaning 'The Woman with Portraits,' echoes the phrase 'the woman with the hat' used for an unknown passerby, highlighting the elusive nature of Huppert's persona. Despite being a celebrated actress—she won a Special Prize at the Venice Film Festival for her role in Patrice Chéreau's 'Gabrielle'—a definitive portrait of her remains impossible. Instead, the book presents a series of imagined portraits by diverse photographers: Paolo Roversi depicts her as a disembodied vamp, Bernard Plossu as a bespectacled lady, and Antoine d'Agata as a colorful will-o'-the-wisp. The album was published in December 2005.
