Errance is a seminal autobiographical and photographic work by Raymond Depardon that explores the state of “wandering”—travelling without a predetermined project or destination. Moving across the globe from America to Japan, and through various steppes and deserts, Depardon captures “places of solitude” that exist in a suspended, eternal present. The book blends 76 high-contrast black-and-white photographs with a reflective essay where Depardon explains his desire to distance himself from traditional photojournalism to find a more internal, contemplative gaze. It serves as a visual meditation on the solitude of travel and the search for purity in the photographic image.
