Info
The Grand Palais is hosting an exhibition devoted to Gilles Caron, whose photojournalistic photographs are presented alongside his archives and his own narrative. The visitor moves from the images that made the photographer known to the traces of the work that enabled them. Caron's voice accompanies this passage, giving voice to his doubts about the profession.
From Vietnam to Northern Ireland, via Chad, Nigeria, and Paris, the roughly 150 prints trace the arc of a career that lasted only five years. A self-portrait taken in Chad in 1968 briefly returns the gaze to the man who usually stands behind the camera. By foregrounding the archives, the exhibition also shows how a reporter confronts what he sees and what his images can convey.
