“I find photography a most mysterious process – capturing that moment in time and space, elusive  and fleeting, and crystallizing it. You have made a photograph. It is its own thing now."
Jessica Lange


In 1967, Jessica Lange obtained a scholarship from the University of Minnesota to study photography, but the vicissitudes of student life took her to Spain and Paris, where she decided to prioritize drama over photography. It was then that she began her career as an actress, and she has since starred in iconic films and received two Oscars, for her performances in Tootsie in 1983 and Blue Sky in 1995.
 
It would not be until later, until the early 1990s (when Sam Shepard gave her a Leica M6), that Jessica Lange took up photography once again. She records her images on her travels: the United States, France, Finland and Italy are among the countries that she has visited, although she has a particular predilection for Mexico "because of its lights and great nights," as she says.
 
This exhibition, produced by diChroma Photography and curated by Anne Morin, includes 134 photographs taken over the last twenty years. It is divided into two series: “Things I see” and “Mexico, On scene”.
 
Many of these photographs have never been exhibited before, and are being presented for the first time at Arts Santa Mònica.
