Présentation
Mélanie Wenger visited for more than three years Marie-Claude, a 75 year old woman. From these encounters she has come away from the slices of old age and a battle between light and shadow.
"Mélanie Wenger has managed, with patience and tenderness, to reveal the story of Marie-Claude, forgotten by society for more than 50 years during which she created her microcosm. (...) Only a photographer gifted with a very special sensitivity and devoid of prejudices could describe, in images, such a wonder".
