New in the Photofile series, a mini-monograph on Belgian
photographer Harry Gruyaert. Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry
Gruyaert was a pioneer of European colour photography in the 1970s
and 1980s. In 1972, he created TV Shots, a series of images created
by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing
the screen. Later he travelled the world, seeking out different
kinds of light and exhibiting a particular fascination with
borders, interfaces and incongruous juxtapositions. A member of
Magnum Photos since 1982, he describes colour as ‘a means of
sculpting what I see ... it’s the emotion of photography.’ Most
recently he has begun to explore the experimental freedom offered
by digital photography. Autonomous, non-narrative and often witty,
Gruyaert’s images are complex encounters with colour and light.
