As part of the cultural festival Printemps Français 2013, a photography exhibition entitled 'Elles Vident Leur Sac' (They Empty Their Bags) will be held at Marsio Fine Art Gallery in Menteng, Central Jakarta, from May 26 through June 9. In Elles Vident Leur Sac, photographer Pierre Klein reveals a myth of women's bags, the intimate daily accessories. He requested 50 random women, who did not know his plan, to empty their bag and took a photo of it. The photos are like a snapshot of their habits and their moods. This exhibition also presents a 52 minute film that documents the experiment and written testimonials from the participating women. Visit institutfrancais-indonesia.com for more information
