Décade

1995-2005

In Dekad, Rip Hopkins explores the shifts in meaning between reportage and documentary image. Far from exhaustion of the repetition, aesthetics or experimentation, the work presented by this young English is exemplary of this movement. In places he frequents (Madagascar, Liberia, South Sudan, Ireland, Greece …) sees a trace of reality through the prism of its sensitivity to bring even more viewers, the move, making him think. It operates various formats, black and white to color, sometimes flirting with the staging. This is particularly the case in his latest work Tajikistan, Displaced, testing ….
It helps us to "find" as Gilles Mora said "behind all the photographs, their intentions to action."
