About Depardon - USA

As a photographer, writer and movie-maker, Raymond Depardon seems to have lived a thousand lives. One of them took place in the United States, where he traveled over and over, all along his career. He went to photograph, for magazines or for himself, crucial moments of history, as well as more contemplative landscapes, characteristic of the American continent. So, this publication gathers all of those photographs, it accompanied the eponymous exhibition presented at the Rencontres d’Arles from July 2 to September 23, 2018.
