<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Photographer Gregory Halpern explores the French Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe, a French overseas region with a complicated and violent colonial history. The series, shot over several months, commingles life and death, nature and culture, and beauty and decay in enigmatic color images of the archipelago's residents and lush landscape, as well as monuments related to the brutality of its past. Halpern's photographs are grounded in reality, but they edge towards the dreamlike. An essay by curator, Clâement Châeroux and a conversation between the artist and Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa consider Halpern's process and personal history, as well as the politics of representation. The project is part of 'Immersion', a program of the Fondation d'entreprise Hermáes, in partnership with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <i>Let the Sun Beheaded Be</i>, Gregory Halpern focuses on the Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe, an overseas region of France with a complicated and violent colonial past. The work resonates with Halpern's characteristic attention to the ways the details of a landscape and the people who inhabit it often reveal the undercurrents of local histories and experiences. <i>Let the Sun Beheaded Be</i> offers a visually striking depiction of place--as it has been worked on by the forces of nature, people, and events--as well as a thoughtful engagement with the complexities of photographing in foreign lands as an interloper. A text by curator and editor Clément Chéroux grapples with Guadeloupe's colonial past in relation to the French Revolution, Surrealism, and the Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, whose writing inspired the title of the book and much of the imagery itself. A conversation between Halpern and photographer and critic Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa delves into Halpern's process, personal history, and the politics of representation. <p> <i>Let the Sun Beheaded Be</i> was produced as part of Immersion, a program of the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, in partnership with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson. <p>Copublished by Aperture and Fondation d'entreprise Hermès
