Family images (Indian summer)
Selection by Marc Donnadieu | 16 artworks
A photographic trip
This photographic trip focuses on the summer period, a time when one abandons the ordinary of daily life to experience this vacation time differently. It thus allows for the delicate capturing of new family stories, like the images of Hicham Ahyoud, Hervé Gergaud, or Anne-Marie Bertin.
The time of travel is decomposed and recomposed par excellence into visual fragments. The works of Henry Pouillon, Jean-Michel Ratron, and Catherine Ballet perfectly illustrate this through effects of contrast, distortion, or superposition.
For many, the beach is the emblematic territory of vacations. Many gather there while isolating themselves from others. The photographs of Cécile Ducrot, Emmanuel Passeleu, and Hégémon Chaignon thus restore human fragility in the face of the immensity of the marine horizon. But it is also a conquest of verticality, as testified by Gilliard Bressan and Sharlie Evans. One measures up to others as one embraces each other through almost aerial figures.
Photography is also a matter of colors and graphics, as affirmed by the melancholic sunsets of Ori Junior, Debbie Scott-Queenin, or Elke Matthaeus.
Luc Pallegoix finally inscribes, at the heart of summer nights, totemic animal figures that play as much with dreams. And what if we played during the summer?...
