At the private viewing of Marc Vallée’s London and Paris 2011 – 2018 exhibition at Metro Imaging. It’s an amazing retrospective of his work.

He remains one of my favourite documentary photographers, and someone I can happily call a close friend.

Hello, Marc Vallée (@marcvalleephoto) here for #TPGTakeovers. I’m sharing images from my When I Was at Art School in the 90s series. Over the last few years, I have been scanning my 90s archive and working on new print editions. I shot this image of my art school friends Jamie and Lloyd at their home in east London in 1998 when we were studying at The Cass (@thecassart). Jamie Atherton (@j_a_m_i_e_a_t_h_e_r_t_o_n) is now the publisher and editor of Failed States (@failedstatesjournal) magazine and is currently writing the foreword for the photobook that will be published next year. Plus a solo exhibition (postponed due to the pandemic) of the prints will be held at the Retramp Gallery, Berlin in 2021.⁠ ⁠ My friend, the American novelist, Dennis Cooper wrote the words below around the same time so I have included them here today.⁠ ⁠ “Marc Vallée is one of my favourite contemporary photographers. Many artists are photographing the young, but Vallée’s work is exceptional and solitary, avoiding the kneejerk tendency to either define the young through their fashion sense or create the impression of communing with them by smothering them with fashionable aesthetics. His photographs are fully interested in their subjects, somehow more respectful of their beauty and emotions and, at the same time, more invasive of their privacy than any other youth oriented images out there. Vallée’s work is ravishing, noble, unique, and irresistible.”⁠ ⁠ When I Was at Art School in the 90s (Jamie and Lloyd, London, 1998). 20 x 16 inches. Edition of 5 with two artist proofs, signed and numbered. C-Type Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, 1998.⁠ ⁠ © Marc Vallée, 1998.
