As man accumulates more and more objects the ‘desert’ spreads and becomes stifling. Waste, the toxic remains of this great contemporary feast, is the tool for this process of sterilisation. In Agathe May’s latest works, these are akin to a vast still life, or rather, a life that is ebbing away as nature is invaded by these discarded objects which man, is constantly generating.

Choices Paris — NextLevel Galerie
Past: May 21 → 22, 2016
San Francisco-based artist John Chiara (born in 1971) pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium through his choice of process and the mastery of its possibilities. His approach is distinguished by its incredible physicality and recalls the early days of the medium when artists dealt with heavy, awkward equipment and endured long exposure and development times. Chiara’s giant cameras, which he designed and built himself, are transported to locations on a flatbed trailer to produce one-of-a-kind large-scale prints. The design of the cameras, which is much like daguerreotype box cameras, allows the artist to simultaneously shoot and perform his darkroom work while images are recorded directly onto oversized photosensitive paper (not film). This process, which Chiara first discovered as a student in 1999, invites anomalies in his final prints and adds to the mystery and lyricism of his pictures.

Les planches s’assemblent et se répondent, se déclinent et se transforment dans un processus évolutif — tel une onde formée par un projectile qui traverse la surface de l’eau, infime trace dans l’attraction du temps.
