The belief by the image

A photographic gaze

Photography, since its creation, has carried within it the validation of the viewer's credulity. It has been perceived immediately as a faithful reflection of the real. Which it has never been. Photographers have never limited themselves to this fidelity and have taken the camera to cast another gaze on the world and play with our perceptual senses. 

At a time when digital technology and artificial intelligence allow for all manipulations, and where the image is constantly called into question, while photography has lost all validation of credulity and the viewer no longer believes what they see, some photographers continue to play with the camera, with the frame, with the mono-focal point of view, to produce images that lead us to look at the world differently.

To pay new attention to the world, just to get closer to the real or to change one's point of view is a rest for the eye in a world overwhelmed by invalid images that make us lose our belief in reality.
