My photographs are intended to be a timeless, universal medium to bring back the personal memories of each.
I work on memory, dreams and memories.
I try to reproduce the somewhat vague, blurred "mental images" without details that our brain produces when we dream or when we try to remember a face for example, we have few details, few elements and yet we identify it immediately, we recognize the person, the image.
So I chose to work with pinhole for its lack of sharpness and its ability to abstract unnecessary details, thus allowing to appropriate it.
French version :
Mes photographies ont pour vocation d’être un support intemporel, universel pour faire remonter les souvenirs personnels de chacun.
Je travaille sur la mémoire, le rêve et le souvenir. J'essaie de reproduire les "images mentales" un peu vagues, floues sans détails que notre cerveau produit lorsque nous rêvons, en souvenir ou quand nous essayons de nous remémorer un visage par exemple, nous avons peu de détails peu d'éléments et pourtant on l'identifie immédiatement, on reconnait la personne, le lieu, l'image.
J'ai donc choisi de travailler au sténopé pour son manque de piqué et sa faculté de s'abstraire des détails inutiles permettant ainsi de se l'approprier.

Hégémon Chaignon is an artist photographer whose work revolves around the concept of the Immediate memory of happiness. Capturing memories as they arise, photographing retinal persistence, halfway between reality, memory and dream. His latest series are taken with a pinhole to illustrate this retinal persistence and its memory, between blur and sharpness, between photography and painting.
The pinhole is a very simple camera that allows you to obtain an image by letting light pass through a tiny hole that serves as a lens. This technique, also called "camera obscura" (dark room) was invented in Persia around the year 1000, then widely used by painters, especially from the Renaissance. In 1514, Leonardo da Vinci explained: “By letting the images of illuminated objects enter through a small hole in a very dark room you will then intercept these images on a white sheet placed in this room. [...] but they will be smaller and reversed. »
In a way, combining a pinhole and a digital camera is a pure anachronism. This historical paradox makes it possible to bring photography closer to painting by obtaining the very particular rendering of a technically sharp photo with fewer details, less sharpness, skies and skins that seem to have been painted with a brush.
Hégémon Chaignon graduated from Epita (Paris) in 1993 and from ESEC Ecole Supérieure d'Etudes Cographiques in 1995 (Paris). His work has been exhibited in many galleries and fairs: Galerie Medicis (Paris), Arles / Les Rencontres Off / Ephemeral Gallery, Hype Gallery at the Palais de Tokyo / Paris, Nuit de la photo contemporaine / Paris…
