Pourtout and Taufenbach define their duo practice as a method built on protocols
and games. Working with various cameras digital reflex, smartphone, or Rolleifle
they create images to be arranged, exchanged, and combined like visual
messages between them. Since their 2020 residency at the Villa Medici, the
representation of space has been central to their approach. Their work explores
structures, systems of organization, and the principles that shape the identity of a
place. Through drawing, photography, and assemblage, they continually invent
new tools and protocols to explore and reinterpret space.
