Catalogue de l'exposition présentée à la galerie Nathalie Obadia à Paris en janvier 2011. Il s'agit de la première exposition personnelle de Luc Delahaye dans sa galerie parisienne. Luc Delahaye présente dix nouvelles photographies de grand format réalisées au cours des quatre dernières années. Les photographies de Luc Delahaye, souvent prises sur les théâtres de l'actualité, témoignent d'une approche à la fois directe et détachée, et leur puissance narrative est soutenue par la forme spectaculaire du tableau de grand format. Le texte du catalogue, bilingue français-anglais, est constitué d'une conversation avec Quentin Bajac.

"( ) there has to be a photograph in the newspaper. Or an image which emerges from reading an article. The journalistic way of relating facts, which is to say incompletely, without affect or commentary, is the best stimulus for the imagination: it lets me see situations. Nothing which happens during these first moments can help me later on, except by setting something off, but that's still where everything begins." In this way Luc Delahaye's pictures are often made at sites and events from which newspapers report everyday. They indicate an approach that is both direct and detached, where the unromantic clarity of the documentary style contradicts and enhances the dramatic intensity of the "tableau" form. Within their visual coherence, they express a nub of formal tensions and invite the beholder to reflect on the relationship between art, history and information through a distanced contemplation. "
'Conflict Time Photography' explores the relationship between photography and sites of conflict over time, highlighting the fact that time itself is a fundamental aspect of the photographic medium.
