Céline Duval Exhibition
White Columns
This event has ended.
White Columns presents the first New York solo exhibition by the Calvados, France-based artist Céline Duval (b. 1974 Saint-German-n-Laye, France). Duval’s installation ‘Horizons V’ consists of a single-channel video projection with accompanying sound. Presented in the manner of a digital-slide show ‘Horizons V’ is a sequence of ‘found’ photographic images – snapshots from different eras - that depict people posing against a backdrop of the ocean. Prominent in each image is a horizon line, which – due to its position within each respective image – appears to slowly rise and fall as the sequence unfolds. Accompanying the visual ‘ebb and flow’ is an audio recording of the sound of the sea, that sets in motion a tautological dialog between image and sound. Like many of Duval’s projects – which since 1998 are typically presented under the name documentation céline duval – ‘Horizons V’ proposes a complex interrogation of questions of memory, temporality, melancholy and the role that both the archive and (digital) photography play in such processes and procedures.
