“We have never been confronted by such images, which are so direct, so devoid of romanticism and yet so sensitive at the same time. Pin-Fat presents his work in gigantic albums, which refer more to the format of ‘real’ cinema than to documentary, emphasizing the fascinating aspect of his generous as well as disturbing approach. Finding the same chaos that shakes the world in the organization of his own work, Olivier Pin-Fat seems to wish to force us to ask ourselves what is ‘really’ happening around us.”

Christian Caujolle, writer, curator, photography critic & founder of Gallery VU and Agence VU.
