Pieter Hugo was featured in a solo exhibition, Being Present, at the 2021 edition of Les Rencontres d’Arles, from July 4 – September 26, 2021. This exhibition looked back at Hugo’s portraiture practice throughout the last two decades, bringing together more than 100 works by the artist. Curated by Federica Angelucci, “Being Present” raised questions of insider-outsider dynamics, questions of surveillance, and the intimacy of the gaze in portrait photography.
