Antoine d'Agata sometimes has a relationship with his subjects in order to get closer to the people who live in the dark corners of society. He does not separate himself from the act of photographing, but becomes a resident of the world of his subjects, and photographs them as if he were sewing the interstices of desire, pain, hope, and despair. In this exhibition, he presents his new work, "Virus". D'Agata used a thermal camera to photograph the streets of Paris during COVID-19 and the sites of several hospitals. "Virus" is a record of human society under the attack of a virus through d'Agata's eyes.
This exhibition is part of the 14th Yebisu International Festival for Art and Alternative Visions.
