How does Depardon's documentary approach to photographing Auschwitz differ from subsequent artistic interpretations of the site?

Depardon's Auschwitz photographs, taken before widespread public awareness of other visual representations, established a benchmark for respectful, documentary-style imagery of the Holocaust. His series contrasts starkly with later works that explore more subjective or artistic interpretations of the site. Depardon's work reflects the stylistic limitations of how the Holocaust could be visually represented in the late 1970s.
