Following the success of the Fashion Magazines edited by Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden and Alec Soth, Magnum Photos now entrusts the creation of the fourth edition to the acclaimed photographer Lise Sarfati. Sarfati is the winner of numerous awards, including the Prix Niépce and the Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography (New York). Acta Est was her first monograph, published in 2000. After the death of Marguerite Duras in 1996, Sarfati photographed the writer s apartment and her house in Neauphle-le-Château. Her pictures constitute a sort of inventory of intimacy taken from the places where Duras lived and worked. In 2003 Sarfati went to the United States and created a series with young characters. This body of work, The New Life (La Vie Nouvelle), published by Twin Palms in 2005, is designed to be viewed sequentially, as episodes in a open-ended drama in which each character represents material for a new subplot following its own surprising path. The series The New Life has been exhibited in major museums and galleries. In 2004 Domus Artium in Salamanca, Spain, and the Nicolaj Centre of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen, Denmark, showed a retrospective of her work.
