"Whether it is the banlieues of Paris, la Défense, or Dubai, the characters of Delsaux's fantasies inhabit the zones of the planet that have already lost any traditional sense of space. No matter how striking, the backgrounds are incidental. It seems that Delsaux could train his dark lens anywhere. Not only are these images outside of time, they are outside of place as well... There is something deeply menacing about his Dark Lens series. These are not innocent characters posing in our world. An epic war rages. We are absent from it, perhaps dead. Much of our world seems to be in ruins [...] Delsaux's work asks us if we are not in the end winding up on the wrong side of the Force." (Vanrelis, Kazys. "Out of Time.
