Graphic design by Luc Delahaye
All 693 images of a series Luc Delahaye made over several years from details of photographs cut out of newspapers. For years he clipped the photographs that caught his attention as working documents; in 2006 the practice took on a life of its own, a proliferating accumulation that embodied a rather dark vision of the world. Only in 2020 did the material reach its current form: photographs of photographs, presented as enlarged details in a single format, without commentary or captions, drawn mainly from the New York Times and Le Monde between 2006 and 2012 and including news photographs, archival images and reproductions of artworks. An atlas of contemporary disorder and a questioning of his position as photographer and witness, a meditation on history, violence, beauty and our gaze.
