Artist

Dupont

Dupont is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

You’ll find Dupont tucked in the corner of every old Paris photo shop, where actors’ headshots yellowed in stacks. She lined up the same wrought-iron balcony behind them all—nervous smiles, stiff collars, one hand always gripping a prop sword—so the light on the faces could do the acting instead. Slide past the velvet ropes and peer at Guy Little Theatrical Photograph; you’ll spot the tiny shadow of the photographer herself, reflected in the lens. Dupont never signed the prints, but she left her ghost in every glare.
