Les Immortels

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Before photography was common, families would capture one final portrait of their departed. Hervé Bohnert's private collection of post-mortem photographs, shown publicly for the first time, traces this forgotten practice from the mid-19th century: unsettling, moving, and strangely intimate.
