The project In the Shadow of Photography is eminently photographical in a twofold sense: it talks about a presence which is also an absence, in the sense that it reflects on the medium of photography with very few actual photographs; and it considers its own self-reference in a natural, innate way, without forcing any awkward situations. This reflection is carried out from an essential yet (or possible necessarily) invisible position. It considers the way in which the appearance, democratisation and extension of photography has changed our social behaviour.
This set of thirty objects includes drawings, photographs taken from printed media, a book, a camera, a back-projected animation onto the edges of a frame identical to that used for the other works... Everything is explained and yet remains open, in a kind of subtle suspense, much like the title of the installation itself. We live and behave under the influential, omnipresent shadow of photography and yet increasing it doesn’t serve as much to describe us as to make us players in a life completed by the fiction created by its scenes.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
