Claude-Philippe Benoit: Chapître Ô-NU
Text by Marie Perrault


 

Chapître Ô-NU continues Claude-Phillipe Benoit's photographic exploration of sites emblematic of progress and its trappings. The artist focuses on a site where political power is seated. Shot at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, the captured images emphasize the stillness of the moment; the composition, depth of focus and cinematic scale of the photographs, and, in some cases, their juxtaposition with more abstract shots, offer an engaging investigation into expressions of modernity.
