CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG5BIS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITSAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE

Paris presents 5bis, a photography exhibition by Charlotte Gainsbourg, curated by Anthony Vaccarello, from September 24 to December 2, 2026. The exhibition comprises a selection of intimate photographs documenting the home of her father Serge Gainsbourg at 5bis Rue de Verneuil in Paris. This series was presented for the first time as part of the 57th Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, with the support of Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello and Maja Hoffmann.

With 5bis, Charlotte Gainsbourg documents Maison Gainsbourg just before it became a museum dedicated to the life and work of her father Serge Gainsbourg, one of France’s most famous sons — a singer, songwriter, poet, actor, cultural statesman, and, at times, provocateur. Ahead of its opening to the public, Ms. Gainsbourg took her Hasselblad to the place where she once lived and photographed it. What resulted can be seen in 5bis: an exhibition that is an act of love, memory, and remembrance, featuring over twenty intimate images. Together they take us through the Gainsbourg home as any of us might visit a place that’s deeply familiar: emotional flashes of the past coming clearly and poignantly into the present.

The accompanying 5bis book, published by Saint Laurent Editions, will be available in several versions: a standard edition of one thousand copies, a limited edition of fifteen books, each of which includes five silver gelatin prints, and lastly, nine artist’s editions, with an additional silver gelatin print and an original text handwritten by Charlotte Gainsbourg herself. A book signing with Charlotte Gainsbourg will take place on October 1 at SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE Paris. A limited number of signed copies will be available for purchase.

Yet with exhibition and book alike, 5bis reveals how Charlotte Gainsbourg has transformed memory and
nostalgia into artistic creation.

All exhibited artworks at SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE Paris will be available for sale.

SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE is a creative and cultural destination curated by Anthony Vaccarello, located at 213, rue Saint-Honoré 75001 Paris. If you happen to be in Paris for fashion week this is your chance to enjoy this fantastic and personal exhibit.
