Jaya Pelupessy uses photography to investigate the medium’s status. Central to his work are the processes that lead to autonomous images; an examination of to what extent the process itself and the visibility of that process enhance, undermine, or generate new autonomous images. Numerous ‘loops’ emerge within his work, wherein reproductions are again reproduced.

À propos
Foam Talent
A photograph’s intrinsic nature is generally obscured by the image it depicts. However, Dutch artist Jaya Pelupessy magnifies this edifice by creating works that consider their own creation. The internal logic of his artist books and exhibitions turns image reproduction inside out by deconstructing the photographic process and compelling us to consider the nature of representation.

Exhibition Cahier Traces of the Familiar
Traces of the Familiar is both a swansong, celebrating what has now been lost, and an ode to the experiment and to the craft of photography, and therefore to the quest, the failure, the perseverance, the dedication and the eureka moment. It breathes new life into the tradition and history of photography and offers a contemporary counterweight to the profusion of fleeting, digital images that are impossible to escape in modern life.
