Vivian Maier's Self-Portraits Take Center Stage in Conegliano Exhibition

A new exhibition at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano, Treviso, focuses on Vivian Maier's self-portraits, featuring 93 works (ten in color) across ten rooms. The show is divided into three sections: Shadow, Reflection, and Mirror. Maier, a street photographer discovered posthumously in 2007, produced over 120,000 negatives, super 8 and 16 mm films, audio recordings, and undeveloped rolls. She never exhibited during her lifetime. The exhibition highlights her compulsive self-portraiture using reflections in shop windows, car chrome, rearview mirrors, and puddles, as well as her shadow. Maier's gaze often looks above the viewer, as if they are an obstacle. The show runs at Palazzo Sarcinelli, Conegliano, province of Treviso.
