This first major retrospective dedicated to Marie-Laure de Decker, whose work has often been overshadowed by that of her male peers, focuses on the life of a photographer whose commitment, ethics and courage shine through in her images.
For more than four decades (1967-2013), Marie-Laure de Decker (1947-2023) bore witness to the upheavals of the world. In 1970, for her first report, she travelled alone to Vietnam, which was then at war. She made a name for herself as a female photojournalist in a male-dominated field. Throughout the conflicts she covered, she chose not to depict people suffering or the atrocities of war, in order to protect human dignity. With absolute freedom, she did not shy away from any subject or country. In Chile, Yemen, India, Mozambique, Cambodia, Japan and even the USSR, she befriended many people whose lives she recounted in her photographs
