Luc Delahaye worked as a reporter – more specifically as a war reporter – for a long time. Since the early 2000’s, he has kept travelling to such places, although without intent to cover the war for the media. He now works at a much slower pace and uses mid- or large format cameras, to produce only three or four photographs a year, thus attempting to sum up events and situations in a single, very large photograph. The other aspect of his practice documents places that are very difficult to access, such as the Hague’s Criminal Tribunal during Milosevic’s trial, the World Economic Forum in Davos, and meetings of the UN Security Council in New York. On the one hand, Luc Delahaye travels in order to give account of places where decisions of global significance are made, and on the other hand, he travels in the field to report the consequences of such decisions.
