Since ten years, the Galerie Binome has been exploring new forms and the limits of photography. For its second participation in Art Rotterdam, the Galerie Binome proposes «Between two», a group show of four artists Laurence Aëgerter, Anaïs Boudot, Thibault Brunet and Marie Clerel. The selection of the works revisits the approach to landscape in photography, shaking up all the traditional markers
of the medium. Between the real and the virtual, representation and abstraction, the visitor is no longer sure which is reality or fiction. The materiality of the works on textile (tapestry, sheet) or on glass, their volumetry in space (photogrammetry, sculpture) or their development in sequence (calendar, video), allows us to consider what contemporary photography can be, in a very current double movement of reappropriation of old processes or extrapolation of new technologies in the field of photography.
Laurence Aëgerter’s work is particularly well renowned in the Netherlands, where her works can be found in the collections of many institutions. The bathing scenes of the Longo Maï tapestries or her installation Confetti were exhibited in 2021 at the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris.
Revelation at Paris Photo in 2019, Marie Clerel’s Midi series is presented this year at the C/o in Berlin (Songs of the sky exhibition from December 15, 2021 to March 05, 2022) and at the Rencontres d’Arles (Chants du ciel exhibition from July 4 to September 25, 2022). In dialogue, the work Ciel was also to join an exhibition at the Grand Palais (unfortunately cancelled) on color in art, alongside those of his elders, Yves Klein or Simon Hantaï.
Anaïs Boudot’s photographic work on glass plates, emblematic of her practice, was recently celebrated by a highly acclaimed solo show at Galerie Binome. Her latest series Jour le Jour, which reconciles the smartphone era and the beginnings of photography in the 19th century, has been the subject of numerous publications. In addition, The Eyes editions have made an unprecedented connection with two great masters of modern art: The Forgotten – Picasso, Brassaï, Boudot.
At the forefront of new image production technologies, Thibault Brunet’s photogrammetries in the video Soleil noir and the photographs in the series Territoires circonscrits surprise with their spectral realism. His presentation at Art Rotterdam echoes several solo shows of the artist in 2022, including one at the FRAC Occitanie in the spring and another in the fall as a winner of the ART COLLECTOR prize.
