Chinook street, “Beyond the shadows” series, 2018-2019
Pigment ink on baryta paper
The series “Beyond the shadows” in which
belongs this photograph tells a travel story, a frenzied flight. It invites the
viewer into a narration made of actions, respirations, and pending moments.
Pictures of emblematic characters embodied by the two artists are mixed with
photographs of always static outside settings. The landscapes, still lives, and
interiors are frozen decors reminding of the rural and suburban areas of North
America. They create a contrast with the bodies in motion, the striking candid
poses. Suggestive interplays between the protagonists create a story
highlighted by deafening silences. This series sets its own highly
cinematographic rhythm.
