Delahaye / Diederix & Goossens

Luc Delahaye For the first time in the Netherlands, Huis Marseille is presenting new panoramas of French photographer Luc Delahaye. These monumental photographs were made on the scene of events that have dominated international news since the last three years.

Luc Delahaye (1962) has been reporting on international conflicts as a photojournalist since the 1980s. Affiliated with the Magnum Photos as a nominee since 1994, he has been a full member since 1998. For number of years now, he has also been investigating the fundamental roles of photojournalism and documentary photography in longer-term projects.

Elspeth Diederix & Marnix Goossens This summer, Huis Marseille is presenting a special project with completely new work by photographers Elspeth Diederix (1971) and Marnix Goossens (1967). At the initiative of organizers/producers Colin Huizing and Frank van der Stok, the two photographers were each invited to make a series of ten photographs with a common departure point: a personally coloured view of nature. The concern here was not a documentary approach, but the ways in which the photographers comment upon nature, manipulate and enrich it.

Not surprisingly, nature and natural phenomena play an emphatic role in the work of Elspeth Diederix and Marnix Goossens. No matter how differently they have approached the theme and developed it, the project presented here clearly show that both photographers are kindred spirits.
