Michel Comte: The New World Order

Comte's aerial photography of crowds is a meditation on what it means to gather en masse in the post-Covid era

Swiss photographer Michel Comte (born 1954) traces the visual weight of crowds and mass gatherings in this lavishly bound photobook. Comte's aerial views of the Hajj in Mecca, Woodstock and the March on Washington with Martin Luther King Jr. take on new meanings in the wake of Covid-19 and social distancing.
