PAKISTAN is a retrospective show of the outstanding body of photographic work of award-winning French photographer Sarah Caron focused on the women and men of this singular nation...
Sarah Caron has travelled the globe in her reportage over the past 25 years, spending time in Pakistan over the past decade for assignment of mainstream magazines, seeing and portraying the country in all its facets: from the dangerous regions where tribal lords rule to the haute couture catwalks in Karachi. |

On 27 December 2007, Benazir Bhutto, the country’s former prime minister, was assassinated in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Sarah Caron was stuck in a traffic jam by taxi at the same moment. She was on her way to an event with Bhutto and suddenly found herself in the middle of one of the most turbulent phases of the Islamic Republic. A month earlier, she had landed a commission for Time magazine with a scoop: an interview and photo shoot with Bhutto, who was then under house arrest.
Pakistan is a country of which we often only see the worst, yet here Caron presents variations of the country she has travelled through from west to east, from north to south, from its vibrant and teeming megacities to the desert foothills of the Hindu Kush where huge trucks bedecked with multicoloured garlands meander along the winding roads. She has set out to meet its lesser-known populations who exist unaffected by the passing of time, like the last Kalash of Chitral, whom myths wrongly refer to as the descendants of Alexander the Great, or the Mohana, the sea lords of the Indus Valley who live on the shores of Lake Manchar where they keep their traditions alive. |

The riders and their horses start at the speed of the wind without warming up and in a straight line, during a Tent Pegging competition. There is no prize money, but great prestige for the owner of the winning team.

| SARAH CARON is an award-winning French photographer who has travelled the globe on assignment for international magazines over the past 25 years. Sarah has always taken a very personal and unique approach to her work. She delves deep into people’s lives and takes a lot of time to convey their circumstances. Her first images taken in India depicted the exile of widows in the north of the country and earned her an exhibition at Visa pour l’Image in 1999. It was then that Caron, who was destined to become a ballet dancer, fully embraced photography and journalism. With an approach that is always sophisticated and never sensational, she is quick to cover the most interesting subjects – the ones we don’t talk about enough. In 2019, Sarah Caron was awarded by the Pulitzer Grant for Editorial Crisis Reporting. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, in Spain, the Netherlands, France, Canada, Cuba, Cambodia, Japan, Vietnam and Pakistan and has been acquired by the Fond National d’Art Contemporain Paris, the Museum of History and Immigration Paris. She has also published six books. |
