Michel Campeau, Gestes et rituels de la chambre noire
An Affective Typology of Photographic Knowledge
— Mona Hakim
A studious scrutinizer and inveterate gleaner, Michel Campeau offers a series of photographs conceived as a typology of the gestures and rituals inherent to darkroom practice. The work of a practitioner who brings images of the past back to life, his book presents, often with a touch of humour, an archaeological gaze at an almost-obsolescent technology. For Mona Hakim, the project takes a humanist approach, highlighting the labour and inventiveness of people who have remained anonymous.
