Entre-Corps
Catherine Rebois & Julien Spiewak
Opening on march 23rd, 2017 from 6pm
Exhibition until may 6th, 2017
“Entre-Corps” features works by Catherine Rebois and Julien Spiewak, two artists who share a common vision held over bodies in photography.
Catherine Rebois deconstructs the body’s presence as if they were moving objects. Julien Spiewak builds up his images gathering the bodies in the museum ambiance.
Catherine Rebois redefines proportions and questions what drives us: our mind or our instinct through pieces of images that she reconstructs her own way. In Catherine’s work, some parts of the body are not totally gathered, as if the body was shared within the different images it reflects. In Catherine Rebois’ photographs the body is filled by its presence or its absence. Organization and disorganization, the multiplication of photos forming a set within a story that folds and unfolds, across a variety of mediums. Always naked and pictured on a black and white background, the body is vulnerable and offers itself.
Julien Spiewak produces his images by integrating parts of a body in classical interiors, creating an analogy between classical furniture and the human skin. The artist invites us to re-read with humor an extremely codified ambiance such as Palais D’Andrea Doria, in Rome, le Musée de la Chasse, in Paris, or Palacio Rio Negro, in Rio de Janeiro.
By doing so, Spiewak transforms, animates, coexists and takes place in history and questions the long tradition of photography as a “document”.
Several questions are proposed by his work, such as: taking into account the photographic document in the art area; the primary role of photography as a way of reproduction and recapturing objects and works of art as a creation process.
espace_L gallery offers the public a reflection about the broad theme of the body that becomes subject, object, and obsession.
