L'Autre

 L'Autre is an album of 90 photographs of passengers on the Paris Metro taken by Luc Delahaye between 1995 and 1997 using a hidden camera. Accompanied by an original text in French by major cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard and an English translation, L'Autre is an exploration of the relationship between the photographer and his subject, and a revealing investigaton into the meaning of the human image.

Review:

'If you've ever feigned sleep on the Tube to avoid eye contact with other passengers, you will identify with the subjects of L'Autre ... it's a compelling book: the text alone will keep you coming back to it, and the fact that the Metro travellers refuse to look at you just makes you want to stare at them even more.'
