A selection of photographs by Cartier-Bresson from which everything that makes the decisive moment has been removed. The title "Trop tôt, trop tard" (Too early, too late) has been borrowed from a film by Straub and Huillet, that tells historical facts solely through long tracking shots on the road and the latndscape. Installing a different relationship to time, the result delivers a new reading of the French master’s work.
