Contacts - Raymond Depardon

Synopsis

Raymond Depardon rocked the foundations of documentary photography and photo-journalism by turning the photograph into a violent confrontation between reality and the subjectivity of the photographer.
In 1966, Raymond Depardon co-founded the Gamma agency. He was soon to rock the foundations of documentary photography and photo-journalism by turning the photograph into a violent confrontation between reality and the subjectivity of the photographer. As he shows us his pictures of the asylum of San Clemente, Raymond Depardon talks about the photographer as curious bystander, as professional voyeur. These contact-sheets highlight the ambiguity of the role of the photographer, now and then turning out a good photograph - one you can look at without feeling ashamed.
