Eléments
24 October – 28 November
There are three photographers shown in the “Elements” exhibition. All three, in this show, give they’re own answer about the new issues on landscape photography. Mathieu Bernard-Reymond stops the process of software creating a 3D landscape. Those polygons transitioning become the independents subjects of his pictures. Even if the trick is reveled, the effect is real and strangely persists. Benoit Vollmer built pictures of Alpines landscapes from hundreds of photographs. Though he cares about likelihood, he imperils himself overturning the horizon. At last Benoit Jeannet creates a fallacious index but likely believable of elementary forms from landscapes. Some of those forms are entirely built in studio, underlining the uselessness of the subject, at least it’s crisis.
However, you can really see landscapes here, in no other words you can describe it, as if the landscape form holds. Photography here aren’t invested with sociologic, urbanistic or geographic matters, it is in fact a fundamental thinking on our relation with what’s come from outside.
