Both chose the street as their field of action and had a deep empathy for the passers-by they photographed. One of them, Sabine Weiss, was born in Switzerland but became a naturalized French citizen. The other, Vivian Maier, is American, but her mother was of French origin, from the Champsaur region in the Alps. One became a professional photographer. The other spent a long time looking after children while practicing photography in her spare time, just for the pleasure of the eyes. One was a cheerful, sociable woman who achieved international recognition fairly quickly. The other was a discreet and even solitary woman whose work was discovered in 2007, two years after her death. | | | | | |  | | | Vivian Maier

It is set in the theatre of the American city - New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia - that ultimately brought them together. This dialogue attempts to show their genuine curiosity about everyday life and their deep attention to physiognomies, attitudes and dress. It shows, once again, that photography was vital to both of them. | | | | | |  | | | Sabine Weiss
