História

She was born to Romanian immigrants living in Paris. According to her daughter, Eva Ionesco, she was the product of father-daughter incest. From the age of 4 to 15 her parents sent her to Romania where she was raised by her family who were circus performers. From the ages of 15 to 22 she performed as a contortionist.

Irina Ionesco - Nocturnes Porte Dorée
Co-Writer
"Nocturnes at the Golden Gate" - invites us to discover the world and work of Irina Ionesco, a unique figure of contemporary photography. Since the early 70's, she photographer has been working in her apartment near the Porte Dorée, in Paris, principally with the female body. Scraps from the past and elements of the present come together to evoke the coherence and multiple meanings of Irina's baroque universe : the solitude of her Romanian childhood ; her youthful debut in the music hall ; her relationships with her models and her way of building images. Little by little, her work is illuminated and takes on different vibrations, though we have never left the apartment : her workspace, temple and museum.
