Olivier Mériel / Jacques Pugin / Nikolas Tantsoukes
Curated by Florence Pillet
This autumn, the BnF (the French national Library) will hold a major exhibition, Paysage français, une aventure photographique, 1984-2017, where two photographers of the gallery will show their works. Xavier Dauny, with his series Pylônes, methodically explores our environment and the traces left by human on the natural landscape. Guillaume Martial, who won the HSBC Prize in 2015, exposes Parade, a series realized within the mission France(s) Territoire liquide, where the photographer animates the urban environment with an applied humor.
Upon invitation by the BnF, we wish to extend this subject of landscape with a collective exhibition of our artists at the gallery. Rather than a documentary vision of the landscape, their works offer an imaginary geography, born in the real world but metamorphosed by the camera, the printing or post-processing: a reality reinvented by photography.
