2014 Results of a crucial year (3)

In 2014 I really decided to invest in promotion and made new shows.

In may I exhibited in GMAC, a major show of contemporary art, at La Bastille Paris and with the Cercle des Artistes de Paris in their yearly exhibition at Parc de Vincennes during one month.

In October I was selected to show my works in La Nuit de la Photographie Contemporaine that took place in Place des Invalides.

Title : Pont d'Equilibre. Equilibrium Bridge.In this panoramic every thing is upside down unless the bridge, the link betweeen the two buildings, which in reality is the most fragile structure of the construction.

 During last trimester I exhibited pictures through a galery , Galerie No. 1 and in the Espace Cardin.









The results were not at all in relation with the investment. The economical situation only explains a part of this situation, the major problem relays in the fact that Paris has lost much its influencial people because of the emigration of its elite to other european countries. As a result Paris becomes a museum, and reacts much more conservatively, and stands much more as a follower. 

Many artists I have spoken with, have the same feeling. Personnally I am like a Don Quichotte that is still looking for his Dulcinea and fighting against abandoned wind mills.

 Regarding creativity it is during that year that I really discovered new possibilities with the photos called "SCENOÏDE". This type of photos are completely directed and organized, like a moment in a theater play.
It is a game between the 4 dimensions of the photographer and the 2 dimensions of the photo produced. Here there is a "twilight zone" that allows to play with the image and the one who looks at it. Presently I focused in showing impossible photos using a mirror and other accessories, like a magician, to produce my desired effect. It is funny, and it recalls the first films of the French Mélies or the american film I just saw on TV last week "Elzapopin".

 

Title: Bas les masque! Unmask!

Here is one example for illustration. It is called "Bas le masque" or  "Down with the mask". In my imagination it recalls the Goya painting or the mexican film when the heroes are facing their death back to the wall. The truth is not only in what you see but also in how the image is produced. The truth here is the fact that the image is produced in one shot, directly without any tricks. The difference between the mirror and the figure unmasked is the fun or the story of the photo. In my "panoroïds" I show everything, they are like caligraphy or an automatic writing, I show every thing for the one who know how to read an image.

 2014 was a key year in my work. Firstly I have been able to produce a major work with the buildings of La Defense. This place features high scrapers you can find everywhere in a modern city. 

Titre : Le Cerf Volant. The Kite.

So it was a way to show that my photos where not only parisian. It was also a big step in scale to work with several buildings instead of a single subject. The result is fantastic, in some photos the architecture of metal and glass is bursted and the image becomes almost an abstract picture expressing mainly the violence of the movement and the contrast of lights. It expresses the invisible impact of the modern financial and technological society of today, in which the humble human being is completely armless facing the world economy of the multinational firms.
