The city becomes before her lens a living being, the extraordinary character that today's visitor can trace during a stroll through its crowded streets, looking up to stumble upon the modern beauty of its skyscrapers. Heiress to the documentary tradition of Eugene Atget, which she herself helped to discover, in Paris she portrays numerous characters of the intellectual scene, always modern and groundbreaking, and soon takes an important place among European portraitists. The exhibition also presents a part of Abbot's work dedicated to scientific photography
