PARIS.- In
order to probe contemporary
procedures for producing, distributing and circulating images, Bruno
Serralongue
“commissions” his own images from himself. His method begins with the
collection
of information from the media, which he uses as if they were dispatches
from his
own news agency, of the kind regularly sent out to newsrooms. Based
on this information, which in his
case has been preselected by the editors of the various media,
Serralongue then
makes his own selection and, when he finds an event that particularly
intrigues
him, travels out to cover it. However, what interests him is not the
event as
such, but what happens on the margins, backstage. Beyond the event, his
works
and images concentrate on the interstices of information.
