She photographs objects until they stop behaving like furniture.
French still-life photographer Mathilde Hiley photographed Un Goût for Galerie Maxime Flatry’s exhibition Un Goût 1925—a centennial reading of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. The art direction was by Maxime Flatry, for his gallery. In her own account she can spend hours adjusting a single detail of light until texture and material begin to carry another presence—closer to painting or cinema than to a catalogue shot.
