TV SHOTS - Harry Gruyaert
“I was living in London in the early ’70s. There was a broken TV in the apartment where I lived; by moving the indoor antenna and fiddling with the controls, I could get some fascinating colors. (...) So I was right in the thick of the news, LIVE, camera in hand, sometimes getting very close to the screen to frame the shot differently. (...) I had thus become a sort of armchair reporter facing the society of the spectacle, facing the factory of universal thought.” — Harry Gruyaert
To begin with, an excerpt from Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s essay “Television,” with color photographs.
