Florence Arcidiacono
The advantage of digital photography over film is that in addition to allowing the amateur photographer like me to offer a look at the world, it frees me from the darkroom as well as from all the paraphernalia which I certainly would not have the patience to develop. My workshop is my garden, or that of others, the dumps, the flea markets, the street, the beach... provided that they are littered with objects whose contours or even consistency have undergone transformations, have been altered or remodeled by the weather. To grasp this change, this poetic transmutation, is to fix the inevitable necessity to evolve, the traces of the inexorable imprint of time. Rust presents itself to objects that have finally become useless, adorning them with fantastically changing colors, from red to brown, a luminous and warm palette on certain days, dull or even cold in other lighting. Seen up close, it gives relief to what was once smooth, reinterprets the materials in its own way, according to its imagination...or that of those who look at it!

Vous avez dit décrépi ?
L’avantage de la photo numérique sur l’argentique, c’est qu’en plus de permettre au photographe amateur que je suis de proposer un regard sur le monde, elle affranchit de la chambre noire ainsi que de tout un attirail que je n’aurais à coup sûr pas la patience de mettre au point. Mon atelier, c’est mon jardin, ou celui des autres, les dépotoirs, les brocantes, la rue, la plage…à condition qu’ils soient jonchés d’objets dont les contours ou même la consistance aient subi des transformations, aient été altérés ou remodelés par les intempéries. Saisir cette mue, cette transmutation poétique, c’est fixer l’inéluctable nécessité d’évoluer, les traces de l’inexorable empreinte du temps. La rouille s’offre aux objets devenus enfin inutiles, les parant de couleurs fantastiquement changeantes, du roux au brun, une palette lumineuse et chaude certains jours, terne voire froide sous un autre éclairage. Vue de près, elle donne du relief à ce qui fut lisse, réinterprète les matières à sa manière, selon sa fantaisie...ou celle de ceux qui la regardent !
