Late Colors
The path taken by Thibault de Puyfontaine is like that of a moth drawn to light and neon bulbs. The first stage of “Late Colors” led him to Egypt and Mozambique. There are no landmarks to tell us whether we are in the maze of Cairo, the souks of Alexandria or the alleys of Maputo. We are in a city that does not exist. A dream city, in the dead of night.
His photographs are imbued with the strange atmosphere of a deserted stage; someone forgot to turn off the lights and the actors have gone home. The bustling in the souk subsides, the cries in the market grow faint as scooters backfire over the the dull hum of the city. —An extract from Hervé Le Goff’s preface to the book Late Colors.
Thibault de Puyfontaine was born in Clichy, France, in 1980. He lives in Paris and regularly travels around the world. His series Late Colors (2007–) has appeared in more than 17 fairs, festivals, group and solo shows. It is also the subject of a book.
