Starting tomorrow, until April 12.
From the website:
EXTREME HOTEL is the name of a hotel in Addis Ababa, a simple place where Raymond Depardon likes to stay during his travels in Ethiopia. A modest base, a quiet place from which to observe the world.
The exhibition follows this idea: taking the time to observe what surrounds us. It brings together nearly 150 color photographs, from the 1960s to the present day, and is organized into several series, including The Land of the Peasants, The DATAR, USA, Cartagena, and Tokyo. These images reveal a dual story: that of the photojournalist, during the heyday of news agencies and striking magazine front pages; and that of a man, the son of a farmer, whose gaze gradually shifted towards a freer and more intimate observation of the world.
For this "carte blanche" exhibition, Raymond Depardon has opened his color archives to the Pavillon Populaire. He presents his work published in the press during his career as a photojournalist: from Queen Elizabeth to the Lebanese Civil War, from the Olympic Games to the Françoise Claustre affair. Throughout the exhibition, we also discover other, more solitary series in which Raymond Depardon spontaneously photographs places devoid of events, scenes of ordinary life, paying close attention to color and light. This exploration continues today with USA, a new series shot with a large-format camera in Texas, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
Each series is a journey, a way of being in the world. Raymond Depardon offers us a colorful exploration of the countries he has traveled through and the feelings that accompanied him during his many stays across the globe. By taking us along on his travels, he teaches us a simple and humanist photography that deeply touches the traveler in each of us.
