If all the world is a stage, Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert is dancing through life, choreographing his own signature blend of visual poetry. As one of the pioneers of colour photography, Gruyaert has travelled the globe creating an archive of atmospheric portraits of places, evocative landscapes of life that both define and transcend the times in which they were made.

“I’m very interested in the magnetic things about photography: how things are attracting and how things attract me,” Gruyaert, now 79, says from his home in Paris, where he has lived since the 1960s. “There’s a little mystery that I find fascinating.”

That sense of the enigmatic, ambivalent, not entirely knowable world infuses his work. This month, a selection of photographs made in France, Spain, Belgium, Morocco, Japan, India, Russia and the US between 1981 and 2017 can be seen in Gruyaert’s first US solo exhibition.
