EX-SITU


Pictures from the series “Ex-Situ or A Little History of the Arts” are photographs of works I created while in residence, in France or abroad, each of them dedicated to an artist or author.

I’m finally not sure that the previous sentence is quite accurate.
Is it, maybe, some artist’s fiction, a look at the landscape under influence, a step backwards from that of Land-Art?
I leave you judge of my possible confusion, but…
“Every photograph is a fiction that claims to be true”(Fontcuberta, Le baiser de Judas – Photographie et vérité, Arles Actes Sud 2005).
