Jeu de Paume
1, Place de la Concorde
75001 Paris
A major photojournalist in the 1990s and a former member of the Magnum agency, Luc Delahaye (born 1962) explores the connections between art and documentary. After initially distributing his images mainly through the press and books, he turned in the 2000s toward large-format works exhibited in galleries, while maintaining a strong link to current events. His photographs, most often in color, offer a representation of the disorders of the contemporary world. From the war in Iraq to the war in Ukraine, from Haiti to Libya, from OPEC conferences to COP meetings, Delahaye investigates the tumult of the world and the places meant to regulate it. Sometimes produced in a single shot, sometimes composed and digitally assembled over months from fragments of images, Luc Delahaye’s photographs are always an encounter—whether immediate or delayed—with reality.
This exhibition, the first in Paris since 2005, offers a retrospective view of twenty-five years of creation and brings together around forty large-format works, including some never before shown and created specifically for the occasion
