Hardback. Condition: New. 1st. In A Sense of Place, artist Harry Gruyaert makes cities pulse through the colors and light of his images, from Tokyo to New York, passing through Paris and Moscow. Artist Harry Gruyaert invites us on a sweeping journey through the city, freed from the usual geographic markers that structure travel. His gaze moves freely through the streets of New York, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Antwerp, Mumbai and Zanzibar-ultimately, the destination matters little. What unites his photographs is not their subject but the way the world presents itself to him: the vibrant intensity of color, the sharp cuts of shadow, urban geometries that punctuate space like a phrase of jazz. Yet this movement-echoing the works gathered under the title A Sense of Place, reveals another dimension of his oeuvre: a chronicle of urban life. The city becomes a stage where social interactions shape identities, where each person negotiates, in a single movement, both individuality and belonging to a collective. While his compositions and mastery of colour have often been celebrated, less attention has been paid to the place his passage through the city gives to the anonymous city dweller. In a café, on a street corner, leaning against a wall, his figures are captured in the apparent insignificance of everyday life. Nothing extraordinary drives his gaze except a curiosity free of any social hierarchy. The visual power then arises from the reconfiguration of reality through color and composition. Social rituals, architecture and muted light, caught in the moment, become strange, tender or subtly ironic. The ordinary becomes theatrical. And his immersion in familiar territories-Belgium, France-further sharpens his vision. The body of work can thus be read as a vast inquiry into modern life, conducted over more than fifty years across the globe. In doing so, it captures what unfolds within the image, while also revealing a vital energy that extends beyond the frame fixed by the photographer's eye.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Deutscher Text weiter unten. Photographer Harry Gruyaert (born 1941) invites us on a sweeping urban journey. Whether he takes us to Brussels, Antwerp, Tokyo, New York, Paris, Ouarzazate, Old Delhi or Moscow does not really matter. What drives the shutter release is not so much the subject but the way it presents itself to the photographer's eye: intense, pulsating colours, the sharp outlines of shadow, and urban geometries that punctuate space like a jazz phrase - call and response. Gruyaert's magnetic music plays out on the street, where vibrations and emotions converse. Harry Gruyaert will be on show in the Chapelle Saint-Martin du Méjan during Les Rencontres d'Arles from 6 July until 4 October 2026. Der Fotograf Harry Gruyaert (geb. 1941) nimmt uns mit auf einen Städtetrip. Ob er uns nach Brüssel, Antwerpen, Tokio, New York, Paris, Ouarzazate, Alt-Delhi oder Moskau führt, spielt eigentlich keine Rolle. Dafür, wo er den Auslöser betätigt, ist weniger das Motiv entscheidend, als vielmehr die Art und Weise, wie es sich dem Blick des Fotografen präsentiert: intensive, pulsierende Farben, die scharfen Konturen von Schatten und urbane Geometrien, die den Raum wie eine Jazzphrase untermalen - Frage und Antwort. Gruyaerts magnetische Musik spielt sich auf der Straße ab, wo Schwingungen und Emotionen miteinander kommunizieren. Harry Gruyaert ist während der Rencontres d'Arles vom 6. Juli bis zum 4. Oktober 2026 in der Chapelle Saint-Martin du Méjan zu sehen.…
