A picture worth a thousand words

Actress Isabelle Huppert, whose photos by world-famous photographers are now on display, says the more Chinese films she watches, the more she wants to see.

An ongoing photo and video portrait exhibition at Beijing's Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Isabelle Huppert: Woman of Many Faces, shows the French actress and jury leader of the 62nd Cannes film festival caught on film by about 100 leading international photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Willy Ronis, Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller and Helmut Newton.

"I love all the photos, maybe because I love myself so much," Huppert jokes. "Every piece is unique. Juergen Teller shot for eight hours, while Bresson could capture five photos in a second."

Among the displays, the one by Bresson appears to be Huppert's favorite.

"He came to my house, took six photos in 15 minutes and left," she says. "Working with him was like taking a stroll."

The black and white work is very Bresson: Huppert is sitting on a couch in her sitting room, looking relaxed and gazing into the distance.

The exhibits also include works by three Chinese photographers done especially for the show's Chinese stop.

Female photographer Wen Fang's work has Huppert's image printed on a piece of canvas covered by hair.
