| Summary, etc. | In his project developed between 2011 and 2013, under the title Dead Cities, borrowed from the essay by the town planner Mike Davis (2002), the photographer Guillaume Greff photographed a “dead city,” which is a kind of Pompeii, a topsy-turvy version of contemporary megalopolises. Indeed, Greff methodically photographed views of Jeoffrécourt, which is none other than a fake city—between ruins and a construction site—, where nobody really lives and which serves as a military training center. The photographer thus proposes sorts of postcards of anonymous and deserted places, deprived of qualities, recorded with the coolness of objectivity and the distance that, in the history of photography, characterize the aesthetics of the “documentary style.” By these means, he allows us to see and to experience a ghost town that his images construct as an allegory of the new knowledge of the post-human era. |
