How to do justice to the talent of a photographer, to his intelligence of places and people, to the speed of his action, to the beauty of his images, taken on the fly against time and danger, to the sensitivity intact under the leather professional? Gilles Caron, a unique talent in the world of photographers, has been missing since April 5, 1970 in Cambodia.
“The first of around twenty journalists and cooperators of all nationalities, he disappeared with two other French people, the reporter Guy Hannoteaux and the cooperator Michel Visot, on road no. 1 which links Cambodia to Vietnam in an area controlled by the
Pol Pot
's Khmer Rouge
. He is 30 years old".
Thus concludes the biography established by the Gilles Caron Foundation, alongside the black and white portrait of this rather good-natured father, born in 1939 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Promised for a bright future by his already numerous feats of arms, he exudes quiet happiness like a character from Agnès Varda.
