"Walking the City" Exhibition
Sous Les Etoiles Gallery
This event has ended.
The photographs featured in this exhibition not only capture the vista of diverse cities such as Paris, New York and Tokyo but their varying techniques emphasize the atmosphere of these urban environments. Bruno Bertrand-Frezoul's silver gelatin prints are enhanced by his darkroom techniques of burning, painting and scratching his negatives prior to printing. In the photographs of New York, the evidence of his handiwork reflects the grittiness of New York City. Wolfram Ruoff works with an abstraction of imagery and with the straightness of a technical line. The inhabitants of his photographs inhabit cities made of lines and edges. Jean-Michel Berts collects the essence of cities. This glance is there to remind us of the grandeur of civilizations. The abstraction of characters makes it possible to move human construction forward and thus reanimate its timelessness. Catching places, cities, glances: Ronan Guillou translates his pleasure and desire for keeping traces of them during his walks. Cities, and the people who animate them, are the basis of his humanistic approach.
