Fridlyand\u2019s curiosity about the origin of this sentiment planted a seed for a project that germinated in 2017, when she started making regular trips to Cuba with her view camera.<\/p>\n<p>BPM presents <span class=\"theme_color\"><em>Limits of control<\/em><\/span>, a selection of images from the resulting body of work and first exhibition in France of Jenia Fridlyand .
