In the early 1990s, before I began working in colour, I decided to frame my photographs in distinctively coloured Formica rather than in black, dark grey or simulated stone, which I had been using.

In the early 1990s, before I began working in colour, I decided to frame my photographs in distinctively coloured Formica rather than in black, dark grey or simulated stone, which I had been using. I selected colours linked to details in the photographs, colours connected to prominent objects, the temperature or smells I associated with the rooms. It struck me that the colour would serve to capture something quintessential or characteristic about the site, something that would give the viewer a little more information (but not too much).In this picture, I chose a beige frame to mimic the colour of the flesh of the boy-girls.

Lynne Cohen (1944, Racine, US - 2014, Montréal, CA) Lynne Cohen a photographié pendant plus de trente ans des espaces intérieurs sans personnages : laboratoires, stations thermales, salles d'attente ou d'entraînement. Leur décoration, souvent très kitsch, peut être comique, même si elle contribue à en renforcer l'aspect intriguant, voire inquiétant. Les cadrages rigoureux, à même distance, la lumière qui met en relief matières et couleurs confèrent à ces images une apparence construite. S'attachant à l'aspect factice des lieux, parfois à l'usage mal défini, Lynne Cohen n'en suggère pas moins un contrôle social qui s'exerce de manière diffuse.
