Kurt Cobain - 'The last shooting' exhibited in Paris

The exhibition is available from March 25th till June 21st 2014, at Addict Galerie.

Laetitia Hecht will present the photographs from this last session in the exhibition “Kurt Cobain- The Last Shooting”.

A selection of the images will be available as traditional analog prints produced by Marc Upson, the printer who realized the proofs from these same photos in 1994... on identical paper, and using exactly the same process as used at that time.

“The Last Shooting” is also a word-play or amusing correspondence, considering the manner he died.

Youri Lenquette was the one who had the privilege to make his last photo shoots, one evening on February 1994.

Kurt was one of those characters whose trajectory was just as brief as it was brilliant.

Youri was a reporter back then for the monthly Best. She managed to create a bond with the uneasy rock star.

Twenty years have passed since Cobain’s suicide, yet this last photo-session has lost nothing of its somewhat painful mystery. It continues to leave us poised on the edge of a precipice.

Shown for the first time in its entirety, “The Last Shooting” fascinates as much as it interrogates. It captures a brief instant, curious, almost playful, of a story that ends badly. It’s an exceptional document that time has endowed with a meaning in which the absurd struggles with the heroic. And finally, it is the very last appearance of a blond and cursed angel before his ultimate flight.
