Alongside American photographers such as Saul Leiter, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, Harry Gruyaert became one of the few European pioneers to explore the creative possibilities of colour in the 1970s and 1980s. The previous decades had elevated black and white photography to the realms of art, relegating colour to use in advertising, the press and illustration. Gruyaert's work suggested new territory for colour photography: an emotive, non-narrative and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world. 0Gruyaert's ability to seamlessly weave texture, light, colour and architecture comes together to wonderful effect in this new collection. His photographs of airports beautifully - and at times surreally - record these liminal, yet reliably inhabited spaces.

A master of colour-saturated images, Harry Gruyaert has roamed the world searching for the perfect light for more than forty years. His very intuitive and physical sense of place immerses the spectator in a world that borrows simultaneously from the cinematic universe and from that of the painter. Dissolving the boundaries between the exterior and interior, Between Worlds offers just such a sensory immersion.No matter the setting, the country or the era, Gruyaert deploys a luminous alchemy suspended in time. Where are we? It doesn't matter: in Gruyaert's world, the pleasure of getting lost reigns.

Dit is het verhaal van de 75-jarige Magnumfotograaf Harry Gruyaert, wiens leven werd gered door kleur. Harry groeide op in een streng katholieke gezin in Vlaanderen. Van zijn vader, die werkt bij Agfa Gevaert, mag hij geen fotograaf worden omdat dat zondig zou zijn. En dus besluit Harry om het huis te verlaten en te gaan reizen. Verstikt door zijn grijze, beklemmende achtergrond, ontdekt hij plots een wereld van licht en kleur. Gedreven door een liefde-haatverhouding en de onweerstaanbare drang om fotograaf te worden, groeit Harry Gruyaert uit tot de Europese pionier van de kleurenfotografie.
