2. Imagining the before and the after
Translated from the French original.
Self-portrait by Vivian MAIER
I went to visit the Vivian MAIER exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. I recommend it, to discover this photographer’s incredible story and the narrative power of her photographs.
Each of her photos invites us to imagine.
-
What was there before the photo.
-
What is around the photo, including the sounds and the smells.
-
What came after the photo.
A real shock, as this mental exploration lets you linger in front of each photo, imagining a whole world that is no more.
So I projected myself into a meeting and imagined the questions one could ask oneself:
-
What happened before the meeting?
-
What is not in the room, yet surrounds this meeting?
-
What will happen after the meeting?
Trying to answer these questions during a meeting helps you be completely present and give your best.
Think about it next time you are in a meeting.
Vivian MAIER – Where do they come from? What are they thinking? Where are they going?

Bonus
If you decide to visit this exhibition, I recommend two things:
– find the time before your visit to read Gaelle JOSSE’s book, une femme en contre jour,
– come with your smartphone and your earphones so you can download the exhibition’s app and enjoy this gem to the full.
