Cette série, présentée à la fondation Cartier Bresson en 2020 puis au SF MOMA en 2021, a été réalisée par le photographe Gregory Halpern lors d'une résidence en Guadeloupe. Le titre, référence à Aimé Césaire, traduit le caractère hybride du travail d'Halpern qui a voulu témoigner à travers paysages et portraits de l'histoire mouvementée de l'archipel mais aussi de sa nature luxuriante.

Clément Chéroux is the newly appointed Joel and Anne Ehrenkranz Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Previously, he was the senior curator in the Department of Photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and chief curator of photography at the Musée National d'Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

In Let the Sun Beheaded Be, photographer Gregory Halpern focuses on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, a French overseas region with a complicated colonial history. Renowned for his photographic meditations on place, Halpern presents a compelling new work, an extension of his characteristic attention to the way details of a landscape, and the people who inhabit it, often reveal undercurrents of local histories and experiences. A text by curator and editor Clément Chéroux grapples with the island’s history in relation to the French Revolution, Surrealism, and the Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, whose writing inspired the title of the book and many of the images inside
