Laurence Aëgerter 1972
Woont in Amsterdam (NL)/ Marseille (FR). Werkt in Amsterdam (NL)/ Marseille (FR).
Vertegenwoordigd door:
Galerie Caroline O'Breen
Laurence Aëgerter (Marseille, 1972) is een multidisciplinaire kunstenaar die leeft en werkt in Amsterdam en Marseille. Fotografie, installatie en kunstenaarsboeken zijn haar belangrijkste media. Haar werk richt zich op de permanente transformatie die in de essentie van de dingen ligt. Ze onderzoekt het archief dat ons collectieve geheugen vormt. Verplaatsing en vertaling spelen een belangrijke rol in haar werk.
"With a practice that stretches the photographic moment, threading the past into the present, the work of Dutch-French artist Laurence Aëgerter is a dialogue between the two. Her approach to the medium is multilayered and project-specific, employing a range of inventive strategies that include installation, performance and participatory collaboration. Inciting an active conversation between artwork and viewer, Aëgerter’s work animates the still image, loosening it from its singular origins and giving it new material life forms. From military archives and prostitution cells to karaoke videos and the catalogue of the Louvre via a Chinese restaurant and Lévi-Strauss, the artist’s fields of research are diverse but always come back to the photographic image and the way we engage with it: the core of her work. Unwilling to relegate the past and its relics to history’s dusty corners, her work juggles nostalgia with a playfulness that releases the image from its ties to time and place. The photograph is resurrected, slipping back and forth through time as a living project, freed to experience a state of ‘permanent transformation’. "

Over de kunstenaar
Unseen Magazine
Laurence Aëgerter’s work turns photographs into living projects, unravelling their fixed nature and allowing them to swing between past and present. Her approach to the medium is multilayered and project-specific, employing a range of inventive strategies that include installation, performance and participatory collaboration. Inciting an active conversation between artwork and viewer, Aëgerter’s work animates the still image, loosening it from its singular origins and giving it new material life forms.

Détournement de chefs-d'oeuvre
The passing of time, the gaze focused on tiny events, the emergence of light, the collision of two temporalities... are the favorite ingredients of the subtle and admirable visual games of Laurence Aëgerter.
Frédérique Chapuis, Télérama
Les trames du temps qui passe
With "Ici mieux qu’en face", the French artist invests the permanent collection of the Petit Palais in poetic dialogue with works and centuries.
Diane Lisarelli, Libération
The Art of Escape
Laurence Aëgerter collects pictures and gives them a new life. In 'The Art of Escape', Fannie Escoulen, curator of Aëgerter's exhibition at the Rencontres d'Arles, considers the issues of her work, which extends beyond photography to evolving installations, collaborative projects and artist's books.

De beste fotoboeken van 2017
Alle vijf de boeken van de reeks Photographic Treatment (c) zijn voorzien van een bijsluiter. Daarin gaat het over het hoe en waarom van dit therapeutische ‘medicijn’ en hoe vaak je het moet nemen. Onder her kopje ‘Bijwerkingen en schadelijke effecten’ staat ‘Geen’. Het veroorzaakt een glimlach, maar Photographic Treatment (c) van kunstenaar Laurence Aëgerter is geen grap of gimmick. Het is een serieuze en indrukwekkende poging de mentale achteruitgang die gepaard gaat met dementie te vertragen door middel van fotografie. Aëgerter sprak met neurologen en gerontologen en zocht daarna uit een beeldban foto’s bij elkaar, waarvan ze er steeds twee met elkaar in zwart-wit combineert. Inhoudelijk, op vorm of naar aanleiding van een detail - dat mag de kijker heerlijk zelf uitvogelen. En het fijne is: de hersengymnastiek die voortkomt uit het kijken en associëren schijnt gezond te zijn voor iedereen. Of je nu lijdt aan dementie of niet.
