'The Skeptics', the latest book by David De Beyter, investigates the intersections of science, myth, and imagery through the prism of UFOs. Using photographs, 16 mm film stills, and ufological archives, the book presents a visual anthropology of the early era of ufological culture, questioning the role of images in constructing narratives and shaping collective imaginaries. In collaboration with sociologist Pierre Lagrange, De Beyter merges sociological inquiry with artistic research, delving into the interplay between art, science, and visual culture. The book examines the contribution of images to contemporary mythologies, providing a thought-provoking exploration of their influence. Additionally, the book features a text by Michel Poivert, which focuses on De Beyter’s photographic practice, further enriching this multifaceted exploration.
