An exhibition titled “Around The World” showcases approximately 60 photographs of Daft Punk, specifically Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, taken between 1995 and 2005. This exhibit, which features images that have seldom been shown to the public, illustrates the duo’s evolution from their early days to the creation of their famous robotic personas.
Photographs Reflecting Iconic Eras
The exhibition features a timeline that spans the important periods of Daft Punk’s career, including their debut album ‘Homework’, the groundbreaking ‘Discovery’, and ‘Human After All’. The progression depicted in the images highlights how the duo transformed from celebrated club figures in Paris to international superstars.
Contributions from Various Photographers
Nine photographers are included in the exhibit. Notable contributors such as Tetsuro Sato, Rick Guest, Zach Cordner, Philippe Levy, and Seb Janiak will attend the exhibition over its three-day run to engage with visitors. Many photographs were sourced from their early days and were uncovered after extensive research by fans.
Fans Behind the Project
The project was spearheaded by a passionate group of five fans who began their endeavor in 2024, seeking to locate photographers who had previously documented Daft Punk. This effort resulted in the discovery of numerous images that had faded from memory and access.
Ticket Information and Legacy
Ticket sales for this unique exhibition are available for €11.85 through Eventbrite, with the final release set to close on November 22 or upon reaching capacity. This exhibition marks another milestone in a fruitful year celebrating Daft Punk’s legacy, following their remarkable milestone of over 18 billion streams on Spotify.
