Lee Friedlander Framed by Joel Coen

Lee Friedlander Framed by Joel Coen will open at LUMA Arles in France on July 1, 2024. The exhibition, born out of the collaboration between the Friedlander and the renowned filmmaker, Joel Coen, will remain on view through September 29, 2024.

Through 70 photographs and a film, the exhibition takes a look back at Lee Friedlander's 60-year career. Joel Coen's choice encapsulates his singular approach to composition and unveils an unlikely kinship between the two artists: they both explore with equal fascination the insidious power of images—fragmented frames, deceitful composition, disjointed shots, mirror effects. As a true cinematic mise en abyme, the exhibition displays the prints like strange, anonymous, individual tiny tales. 

Lee Friedlander Framed by Joel Coen was first exhibited at Luhring Augustine, New York and Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco back in 2023.
