Murs

Area-store-paris.com - Paris, France

Individual Exposition, from from 17/03/2021
« Ces murs disent des histoires tristes. Un passé glorieux, industriel, impérial parfois, religieux ; ils sont abandonnés des hommes, des ouvriers, des prêtres ; ils sont en fuite et tentent de disparaître. Mais comment ? La pierre, le béton, la brique résistent. Les intempéries agissent en douceur, prennent leur temps et opèrent pour un travail de sape. Ces photographies sont l'hommage que je leur fais. Le geste, certes, peut sembler dérisoire. Mais la tentative, avant qu'ils ne s'écroulent, de leur rendre un peu de leur panache, ne saurait être vaine. » Sophie Bassouls, mai 2012

Couples d'artistes

Le couple réinventé

Mairie du 10° - Paris, France

Group Exposition, from 04/11/2012 to 15/12/2012
Artist couples. Isn'’t the couple above all a mathematical concept? Something established from the association of two identical, or nearly identical, elements. Love story or not, the couple is the story of the equation 2=1, or 1+1=1, an equation that gives birth to something new—often life—or, in the case of art, emotion. This exhibition, presented by Area within the 10th district city hall of Paris, does not dwell on the question of photographic representations of couples, but focuses instead on the driving force behind this connection: an attraction, a magnetic pull…...

Giallo di Napoli

Sollers

Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris - Paris, France

Individual Exposition, 1990
« Is it me? Or not really me? What does it matter? An interesting photo is the mark that distinguishes, thanks to who’s guiding the lens, between one self and another. A novel, a sculpture taken in an instant, recalling a dramatic moment. We see this character who shares my name, by turns relaxed, despondent, old, young, concerned, dreaming, calm, tired, leaving, returning, laughing, showing off, a little present and a little absent… »
