Couturier Gallery 166 N. La Brea Avenue 90036 CA Los Angeles États-Unis
Couturier Gallery is delighted to present French photographer, Guillaume Zuili, in his solo exhibition opening June 21st. The exhibition will include photographs of urban landscape, addressing the interaction between urbanism, nature, and humans. These photographs, like fossils, expose layers of various shapes and forms of buildings, and street culture "producing ghost like qualities, symbolic of lost moments and untold narratives."
Guillaume Zuili (b. 1965, France) travels to cities of his own continent, documenting through his camera and Polaroid film, architectural diversities of old, sometimes ramshackle structures juxtaposed with modern edifices; social controversy between wealth and poverty; and geo-political transitions from occupation to liberation. His geographical expeditions reveal layers of history through inanimate landscapes, while he traces and captures the evolutionary process of prosperity and decay coexisting in the same space and time.
Zuili's talent as a photographer derives from his double exposure techniques he utilizes in his creative process, forcing the moment to become "significant and irrelevant, as well as public and private, very much like history itself."
Guillaume Zuili moved to Los Angeles in 2002 where he currently lives and works.
