Gilles Saussier

Born, 1965 in Les Hauts-de-Seine à Suresnes, France

From the archived Documenta 11 website : www.documenta12.de//archiv/d11/data/english/index.html

“Having worked as a news photographer for Gamma Press Images, Gilles Saussier shifted his practice in 1994 towards a more conceptual approach to photography, complicating and intersecting the genres of documentary photography and visual anthropology. Saussier’s interest in documentary photography lies in the idea of submitting to a common portrait procedure of social and cultural types, providing a topographic common ground and thereby initiating dialogue and social change.”
