On July 5th, Kering and the Rencontres d’Arles will honor Babette Mangolt, born in Jura in 1941, with the Women on the Move Award for all her work at the Theater Antique d’Arles. This award, which salutes the career of a remarkable photographer, has already been awarded to Susan Meiselas (2019), Sabina Weiss (2020) and Liz Johnson Arthur (2021). Landing at Idhec, Babette Mangolte envisions herself as chief cameraman, a position she is denied in favor of editor. He went to the United States, where he met the film director Chantal Akerman, becoming the cameraman and director of many films.

From the 1970s in New York, he developed a photographic language based on the subjectivity of the camera, the central role of the viewer in the device, and the relationship of the human body in space. It documents the city’s choreographic and performance scene. In the 1980s, he continued his research and contributed to the construction of a dance archive, writing essays, fighting for his photographs to be recognized as works in their own right. His work takes you through fifty years of work marked by Yvonne Rainer, Trisha Brown, Richard Forman, Lucinda Childs, Simone Forti, Joan Jonas, Robert Morris, Robert Whitman… A major figure of our time.
