ABOUT

Manifeste comprises a series of texts by Antoine d’Agata, illustrated with his photographs. D’Agata discusses his approach to photography, his influences and his attempts to blur the boundaries between the photographer and his subject by immersing himself in a lifestyle on the fringes of society. "Through a tenacious habituation to pain and pleasure, I dissect the mechanics of our bodies, reduced to puppets, subject to fear and desire. I don the robes of the saint, the robes of the madman.”
