Artist and author

Michel Campeau
In this book, Michel Campeau manages to make us see every image, even the most common, with a hint of revelation or threat, like an inexplicable piece of future archaeology. And we end with the engraving of a donkey dressed as a zebra. It is a beautiful pedagogical metaphor for post-photography: an image that crudely disguises itself as a photograph, that passes itself off as a photograph, and that we accept as such even if we cannot avoid recognizing its true nature and its false promises of salvation.
