This 'Manifesto', the photo volume 'Edges' by Harry GRUYAERT, reveals the deeply unique character of this work and emphasizes its underlying poetics: the flash of fleeting and chance. The sensual elegance of his pictures is enhanced by the flawless composition. Light floods the room under a strongly structured picture construction. Photography has become his extraordinary way of creating the conditions for a miracle.
