Month of Photography 2007: ERRANCE by Raymond DEPARDON
Errance comprises 81 works by Raymond Depardon, a largely self-taught photographer who learned through experience in the field. He belongs to a generation of French photographers reluctant to over-interpret their subjects, evidently so in Errance, or Wandering in English. It is for Depardon, as much a quest for that special place, the intermediary zone, as it is a search for himself as a photographer. The photographs that make up this exhibition cannot be seen as mere landscapes, but a certain questioning about Depardon, his work, and his relationship with his subjects.
Depardon who received his first camera at the age of twelve, co-founded the Gamma photography agency, becoming its director in 1974. Between 1975 and 1977, he went to Chad and produced images that won him a Pulitzer Prize. In 1978 he left Gamma to become a Magnum associate, becoming a full member the following year.
