What to expect

Le Jeu de Paume in Paris to Host a Major Exhibition This Autumn Dedicated to One of the Most Influential Photographers of His Generation: Luc Delahaye. Titled “The Noise of the World”, this retrospective will run from October 10, 2025, to January 4, 2026, offering the public a powerful immersion into the work of this unique artist, renowned for blending documentary reportage with artistic creation.

Luc Delahaye. The Noise of the World – A Must-See Retrospective at the Jeu de Paume

Luc Delahaye, born in 1962, is a French photographer who has made a lasting impact on the world of photography through his commitment and unique perspective on current events. A former member of Magnum Photos, he rose to prominence in the 1990s for his war reporting, capturing conflict with both precision and profound humanity. From the 2000s onward, he turned to large-format works, pushing the boundaries of traditional documentary photography and infusing his work with an unprecedented artistic dimension. This exhibition highlights this dual approach, allowing visitors to understand how his images transcend simple reportage to become true works of art.

The exhibition brings together around forty large-format photographs, some of which are previously unseen and created specifically for this event. Each image stands as a powerful testimony, often striking in its visual and emotional intensity. Among the featured works, a video about the Syrian conflict takes center stage, the result of several years of work, offering a unique perspective on a tragic and complex event of our time. The exhibition also presents a new, never-before-seen installation, a completely new format for Delahaye, inviting visitors into an immersive experience and a reflection on the role of photography in representing the contemporary world.

To accompany the visit to this retrospective, the Jeu de Paume is offering regular guided tours, taking place every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. and every Friday at 5:15 p.m. from October 10 to January 2. These tours give participants the opportunity to better understand Delahaye’s work, his artistic choices, and the contexts behind the images. Additionally, a special tour is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14 at 6:00 p.m., in the presence of the artist himself and Quentin Bajac, curator of the exhibition, offering a rare moment of direct exchange with the creator of the works.

In addition, a special dialogue will be held on Tuesday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. between Luc Delahaye and Jean-Pierre Criqui, a renowned art historian and critic. These encounters provide context for the works and delve into the contemporary issues that permeate the artist’s practice. They also offer the public a chance to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of documentary photography into a hybrid form that merges art and reportage.

The Jeu de Paume is also organizing a lecture series titled “Documentary Metamorphoses”, which will run from December 3, 2025, to January 7, 2026. This program explores the transition of certain photojournalists into artistic practice, allowing participants to analyze how images can both inform and move. It’s a unique opportunity for students, enthusiasts, and photography professionals to discover the behind-the-scenes work of today’s leading photographers.

Please note that some of the images on display may be disturbing to some visitors, due to their documentary nature and the themes addressed, such as conflict and humanitarian crises. The Jeu de Paume therefore recommends that visitors prepare for an emotionally intense, yet deeply enriching experience.
