This work explores the eloquence with which the human aesthetic experience is rooted in landscape.
The northern and southern slopes of the Pyrenees Mountains, which separate France and Spain, are totally different in terms of their natural and cultural geographies. Granite peaks to the north sit back to back with limestone canyons to the south.
“Brèche - Brecha”, a psychogeographical study using interactive photography, brings about an embrace between two landscapes which touch at their summits but never meet at their feet.There is, within the photographic material, a constant coming and going across the border between the two territories. “Four Corners” unites four different landscapes within a single picture - two Spanish, two French. Within the picture the atmospheric conditions of each place varies, at the same time as they merge together, brought about by the actions of the spect’actor.
The multitude of changing and random compositions within the picture constructs an imaginary landscape, where the geometrical discontinuities between scenes combine to form a fluctuating and ephemeral mountain range, where forest and fields fade into each other between consonance et dissonance.
Interactive photography was born through the encounter between digital photography and the narrative possibilities offered by the manipulation of still images, in real time, via a computer program which directs the work's score. Interactivity allows spectators to explore place by manipulating the picture as they please. Thus, these photographs are not only sensitive to light, they are also sensitive to the beholder's scrutiny.
The pictures presented here are static screenshots from a work which is an installation projected by computer, in a permanant state of random, visual flux.
