MICHEL CAMPEAU: THE DONKEY THAT BECAME A ZEBRA: DARKROOM STORIES - Michel Campeau
Around 2005, Michel Campeau, sensitive to the digital shift, began photographing darkrooms, the laboratories that were the foundations of silver photography, which was on the verge of extinction. At the same time, he collects vernacular photography and pursues his creative work through the photography of others, building up collections of anonymous or background photographs that he unearths on the Internet or during his travels. In this book, he creates a kind of temporal montage from these documents, many of which are no longer available. He mixes his own photographs with those he appropriates, creating a history of silver photography while weaving his own photographic autobiography. Joan Fontcuberta's text analyzes Michel Campeau's work.
