Louis JAMMES (born 1958). - Lot 40

Louis JAMMES (born 1958). Sarajevo photo plate. Photo print signed and dated 04/1993. 40 x 30 cm. Note: A member of the Figuration Libre movement, in the early 80s Louis JAMMES embarked on a personal photographic project, photographing artists such as Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Combas and Andy Warhol, immersed in a setting he created himself, evoking the world of their works. Posing in front of a painted backdrop, he continues his work by taking photographs all over the world: in Berlin when the Wall came down (1991), in Chernobyl (1990-1991), in Sarajevo (1993), in Africa (1996), in Gaza (1996-97), in Tunisia and Chechnya, with an empathy that he opposes to the spectacularization of suffering.
