ARCHITECTURE DES OMBRES
à propos des travaux photographiques de Polina Jourdain-Kobycheva

De nos jours, la photographie en noir et blanc avec son style rétro est considérée comme signe d'une recherche artistique. Elle est appréciée de l'esthète raffiné qui en savoure la charge graphique et les textures veloutées. Elle offre une incomparable expérience de profondeur et de mise à distance temporelle inaccessible avec la couleur. Tout cela se trouve dans les travaux photographiques de Polina Jourdain-Kobycheva : elle manie le noir et blanc avec habileté et brio pour nous livrer un large éventail de motifs et de tableaux où l'arsenal technique est toujours placé au service des possibilités d'expression.

Son travail frappe par la profondeur, les contrastes de tons, les crépuscules tendus. A première vue ses images semblent graphiques et évoquent des formes abstraites, nous pouvons pourtant y saisir le détail arraché par fragmentation à la vie réelle. Dans une volonté d'objectivation, l'approche nous fait pénétrer au sein de la matière – une dalle de pierre, de murs en plâtre, de l'asphalte ou du fer. Les lignes géométriques strictes, aux arêtes tranchantes, créent une logique d'ombre et de clarté dont la répétition forme un rythme lequel organisera l'espace en retour.

Polina Jourdain-Kobycheva semble se référer à l'esthétique constructiviste – comme l'on la retrouve dans les photos d'Alexander Rodchenko – mais pour générer au final une autre matière, un contenu plus significatif, plus émotionnel. Si la géométrie des lignes avait alors été utilisée pour dynamiser l'espace et promouvoir l'affirmation de la vie dans l'acte de construction, ici, a contrario, les similitudes formelles et la stylistique apparente créent un leitmotiv de pause ou d'arrêt, comme un appel au repos dans la construction d'un espace idéal où le faisceau solaire se rencontre sur des surfaces chaudes. En dehors de la réalité, le jeu de lumière et d'ombre crée un effet minimaliste, s'organise en ornements détachés qui nous plongent en un état contemplatif, dans un monde où tout mouvement semble suspendu. Dans une magie envoûtante, notre regard oscille entre la captation exquise du motif abstrait et celle de l'objet lui-même identifiable à son insertion tridimensionnelle dans le réel.

Il existe une frontière entre la plongée dans les ombres et les explosions de lumière, une frontière où s'actualise notre mémoire, où l'image apparaît et se construit reconnaissable à la fois dans l'espace et le temps. C'est un semblable procédé photographique qui se trouve développé ici avec une clarté sublimée.
