Latentes
Latentes images are those that remain underneath certain works and that are likely to occur at any time. They are there and yet their revelation is selective. Their elaboration happens when the mind of those that are observing them decide to do so. In order to stimulate this state of mind, the three artists gathered herewith by their way of expression, relate in close symbiosis. Their starting point is an accurate observation of the environment and the media each of them use. The “real aspect” of the media is not submitted to the demands of their creative impulse but instead it dialogues with the artificial aspects of their work. In doing so, they go after a certain depth. The tension, the beat between “natural” and “created”, between “real aspect” and human depth becomes the disturbing origin and the strength of their work. Whether in Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro’s sculptures, in Josée Pitteloud’s paintings or in Catherine Rebois’ photographies, their work keep their secret. They are not immediately revealed into our eyes. They wait until the spectator’s curiosity stimulates their imagination to find them so that they become visible. All together in the same exhibit space, despite their different media, the works measure their same characteristic. The game between the veins of alabaster and gold applied, the multiple coats of paint on the same canvas and the deformation of the photographic body express their inner dialogue.
