Catalogue Note
Salle du conseil 'Francisco de Vitoria', Palais des Nations, Genève.
La monumentalité de la composition imaginée pour la salle du conseil du palais des nations est déjà présente dans la photographie malgré la modestie de l'outillage. La proximité imposée au regard avec l'objet et l'ombre imposante des ailes qui envahissent l’image vise à amplifier la dimension morale du sujet représenté.
