Luc Delahaye
"( ) 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. "

The Pleasures of Good Photographs
The Pleasures of Good Photographs showcases primarily new essays, with a couple of classics thrown in for good measure, making it an important addition to the canon of photographic writing.

Fried further demonstrates that certain philosophically deep problems—associated with notions of theatricality, literalness, and objecthood, and touching on the role of original intention in artistic production, first discussed in his controversial essay “Art and Objecthood” (1967)—have come to the fore once again in recent photography. This means that ...

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.

Strangers
Presenting the works of 50 contemporary artists and photographers from around the world, Strangers explores the different roles the camera now plays in negotiating the boundaries between public and private life, trust and fear, intimacy and isolation. Accompanying the first recurring exhibition of its kind devoted to photography and related media at the International Center of Photography in New York, Strangers investigates the social world through images that have been created as a result of encounters with people unknown to one another. In addition to the more personal and psychological aspects of estrangement, the artists in Strangers also engage with the theme of globalization and diaspo...
