It is already accepted that photography can enhance dance and help to imprint it on the public's memory, but Guy Delahaye's photographs are more than just an accompaniment; they have so faithfully accompanied Jean-Claude Gallotta's choreography from the very beginning that the two have become inseparable. Gallotta's choreography and Delahaye's photographs belong to each other and reveal themselves to each other with the result that the moving images and the paper images merge together in the memories of the spectators. There is obviously not enough space on the walls of the MC2 to exhibit the entire Gallotta by Guy Delahaye collection as it is made up of several tens of thousands of negatives and so the photographer has chosen to share his vision in the form of an exhibition-installation that will take over the halls of the MC2: Grenoble, including a gigantic "wall of boxes" and a fresco of wave surges that look (back) over thirty years of dance and artistic friendship.

At MC2: Grenoble from 23th september to 9th november 2011.
