Summary of the exhibition:
This exhibition does not raise the question of the mimèsis, i.e. the imitation of the urban or natural environment: the photographs do not intend to capture reality but to produce new art forms (‘digitised paintings’) from real elements taken from our world such as urban landscapes. The aim is to recreate an abstract piece of art from nature’s own sublime language or from artificial elements; to form an image where line, colours and points, feminine and masculine combine to create a Poetic space. The poems intend to trace an inner experience, Beauty and Emotion captured in the eyes of the beholder. By translating and transposing the emotional charge transmitted by the images into a metaphoric language, they create other images, illuminating the constant dialectic between the Poetry of forms and the forms of Poetry.
With best wishes,
Sabine Chaouche
