Turning 18 / Anne-Catherine Chevalier
13 September - 26 October 2019
Hangar presents Anne-Catherine Chevalier’s new photographic project Turning 18. The exhibition coincides with the release of the publication of the book by Prisme Editions. As the third series of Anne-Catherine Chevalier (after Mothers & Daughters and Family), Turning 18 is the result of a wonder in front of her children growing up and becoming adults but also in front of her teenage memories. For two years, Anne-Catherine Chevalier visited young people at this special moment of their lives, when they turned 18: at the end of school, the moment of big choices, which corresponds to some with the age of legal majority. Every adult in life has chosen the place where he/she wanted to be photographed, a meaningful place to him/her. Behind each portrait lies dreams, fears, regrets, and talent. Turning 18 brings together a series of 50 portraits of which a selection is exhibited at Hangar.
