Global Photography, a veritable observatory on contemporary photography, presents the work of ten well-known international photographers who find a common root in the title Occupancy, a hidden thread which runs through the ten sections of the catalogue. From an outspoken evocation of the primitive origins of man in Fréderic Delangle’s Primates to the physical dimension of Bas Prinzen’s anthropomorphized landscapes, often detectors of unstable equilibriums, man’s attempts to define a space for himself in the world are revealed in the intimacy of individual and collective tales. Henk Wildschut’s Shelter, Marco Zanta’s images preceding the Libyan revolts in Tripoli talks, unfinished work, Martina Hoogland Ivanow’s landscapes of memory, the new nomads encountered by Roderik Henderson, the allusiveness of the Indian metropolis in the work of Massimo Sordi, together reconstruct various photographic means of appropriation and designation of contemporary space.
