- Summary
- Photographer Gregory Halpern explores the French Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe, a French overseas region with a complicated and violent colonial history. The series, shot over several months, commingles life and death, nature and culture, and beauty and decay in enigmatic color images of the archipelago's residents and lush landscape, as well as monuments related to the brutality of its past. Halpern's photographs are grounded in reality, but they edge towards the dreamlike. An essay by curator, Clément Chéroux and a conversation between the artist and Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa consider Halpern's process and personal history, as well as the politics of representation. The project is part of 'Immersion', a program of the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, in partnership with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.
