Author Description

Each photographer is a traveller, each image a journey, and the desire to look afresh at the world through pictures is fundamental to all of us who like to see. Yet the greatest discoveries are not always made 'far away and long ago'. They depend in the very first place on the eye of the photographer able to reveal new ways of looking at what may seem deceivingly familiar. In *A World Without End*, a book that slowly becomes - and stays - a film of fixed moments, Marie-Françoise Plissart revisits twenty-five years of a photographic career that has gadually blurred the boundaries between her home country and the rest of the world. Marie-Françoise Plissart has been working in a wide range of photographic genres and practices. Her photo novels have revolutionised the world of the visual narrative (*Right of Inspection*, with a reading by Jacques Derrida, 1985). Her book *Kinshasa, Tales of the Invisible City* (with Filip De Boeck, 2004) was awarded the Golden Lion at the Architecture Biennale of Venise.
