Entre chien et flou

As the title suggests, the photographs in this exhibition were captured primarily at dusk—a time when shadows lengthen, colours are transformed by the fading light, and a sense of mystery pervades the scene. The blur is not an aesthetic choice but a natural corollary of the photographer’s way of working. As he walks along, images come to him obliquely, much like memories glimpsed in a dream. Sharpness is not what interests him — he is in motion when pressing the shutter, whence the resulting blur. The colours proliferate, creating a third dimension in the landscape. The exhibition features the artist’s vintage gelatin silver prints from the early nineties, made while wandering aimlessly through a snowbound Russia that had itself lost its bearings after perestroïka, alongside his recent digital colour prints (2018-2025) set in the familiar surroundings of Aubrac and, at the other extreme, Japan.
