Jean-Pierre Grandjean

2016_12_grandjean_01

Swiss documentary series ‘Passe-moi les jumelles’ has made a film about photographer Jean-Pierre Grandjean. Grandjean is a long time friend of Cosey, and has made some travels with him to Asia. In the documentary, Grandjean has been followed during a trip to Laos, for a commission by the non-governmental organisation Helvetas. He photographs people at work in Helvetas projects, before continuing his personal project of discovering and photographing Buddha statues. As an intro as as an epilogue, there is a meeting with Cosey and documentary maker Romain Guélat.

I recommend the documentary for everyone interested in the work of Grandjean or interested in Laos culture: click here.
