poster for Corinne Mercadier "Recent Drawings and Photographs"

This event has ended.

Corinne Mercadier reverses the usual order of creation by having her photographs come from prior drawings, rather than taking photographs that then get transformed into paintings. She likes to reverse things. There are reasons for this. She is a dreamer, or rather a memorist, if such a being exists, and draws her initial imagery from memory rather than finding it with her camera. She is also, on a practical level, a set designer, which she has been, and a filmmaker, which she has not. Her drawings are the settings for a theatrical unfolding of glimpses of memories that begin her creative journey. The journey itself has a strongly cinematic quality to it, but she is a still photographer at heart. What she gives us is the view we might get if we were to walk in on a film already in the process of being shown.
