Luc Delahaye THE ECHO OF THE WORLD

This major monographic exhibition looks at 25 years from the career of French photographer Luc Delahaye (b. 1962). His portfolio of work – from the war in Iraq to the war in Ukraine, from Haiti to Libya, and from OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) conferences to COP (Conference of the Parties) gatherings – indexes many ways in which today’s world has gone awry. Delahaye’s practice combines documentary and art photography.

A former member of Magnum Photos, he became known for his war images in the 1990s. In the 2000s, he switched to large-format cameras – while still grounding his photographs in current events – and began showing his work in museums. This exhibition was created by the Jeu de Paume in Paris in collaboration with Photo Elysée and is being shown in Paris until 4 January 2026.
