TV SHOTS - Harry Gruyaert
"I lived in London in the early 70s. There was a deranged television set in the apartment where I lived; it made it possible, by moving the internal antenna and further deranging the controls, to obtain fascinating colors. (...) So I was LIVE with the news, camera in hand, sometimes getting very close to the screen to frame it differently. (...) I had thus become a kind of reporter in the room before the society of the spectacle, before the factory of universal thought". - Harry Gruyaert
Introduction: an extract from Jean-Philippe Toussaint's text "La télévision", color photos.
