Nous autres de Donna Gottschalk et Hélène Giannecchini

Since the late 1960s, Donna Gottschalk has been committed to depicting the people with whom she has lived, campaigned and worked. The construction of her gaze is inseparable from the emergence of the LGBT rights movement, for which she became involved at a time when homosexual relations were still illegal in the United States. Her subjects, in the intimacy of their daily lives, will never be objects of curiosity, scrutinized from an outside point of view. Hélène Giannecchini is a writer and art theorist. When she met Donna for the first time in 2023, an immediate rapport was established. In confidence, Donna opened her archives to her, which she explored and recomposed. Her text, written like a stroll, extends Donna's work into the present day.
