INTERVALLES EXHIBITION MICHAEL MICHLMAYR
AT THE GALERIE VRAIS REVES
|
  The Galerie Vrais Rêves opens its doors to a new exhibition from 13/03/2019 to 27/04/2019.
The opening will take place on Saturday 09/03/2019 from 17h at the Galerie Vrais Rêves 6 Rue Dumenge, 69004 Lyon France.
 In this exhibition called INTERVALLES, the photographer Michael Michlmayr exposes some older works, which were already positioned clearly on the border between static image (photo) and moving image (film).
In recent years, thanks to the improvement of the optical quality of the cameras we are witnessing, in his work, an inversion of the creation protocols.
Previously, photography fed video, whereas now it is the video itself that constitutes the essence of His photography.
INTERVALLES
Michael Michlmayr's work is confronted with different structures of reality that profoundly alter our perception of time and space through images.
In his series "Work in progress - Spaces time" (Time Spaces) it deals above all with urban space, everyday scenarios and actions that take place there.
For this purpose he can photograph, from a single and fixed point of view, people on a square, on an escalator "Escalator III, 2011" or cars circulating in a street "Circulation, 2018". The different photographed scenes are then assembled on a computer to form, in the end, a single painting, La photographie.
The juxtaposition of different places and different space-times within the same image creates an effect of simultaneity.
But if we take the time, we discover that people and things arise repeatedly in different attitudes or positions.
The photographs of these seemingly authentic urban scenes turn out to be fictional situations - scenes in which time and space become elusive. Similarly, photographs of architectural structures are assemblages, virtual constructions. |
It can also, by the association of multiple individual images of a window, create a floor in order to be able to build a new building, which does not exist in reality ...
 In his current exhibition, called INTERVALLES, he exhibits some older works, which are positioned even more clearly at the border between static image (photo) and moving image (film). In recent years, thanks to the improvement of the optical quality of the cameras we are witnessing an inversion of the creation protocols. Previously, photography fed video, film, whereas now it's the video itself that constitutes the essence of his photography.
Among his creations, a photograph of the series "short films" of 2018, in which Michlmayr explores again the passage of characters on an escalator.

Some bibliographical references:
Born in 1965 in Vienna, Austria, Michael Michlmayr found his interest in art photography and cinema very early on. The idea of the photographic sequence therefore very quickly aroused her because she alone could bear this relative temporality.
His photography is actually very close to the film, perhaps on the border between photography and cinema. "I see some of my images as small motion pictures, like an uninterrupted short film. Michael Michlmayr.
He learned photographic and artistic techniques by assisting and working with professional photographers and other artists. Scholarships for residencies in Paris, London and Rome. Michael Michlmayr is present in private and public collections in France and abroad.

These appear in Escalator VII but a little more blurred (in motion) than in the initial photograph. 25 native / sec images of a video sequence have been assembled into a single photograph from a video of a length of a few seconds.
The photograph thus obtained "the ghost of the past" shows in condensed form, four seconds during which the ruins of a World War II bunker on the French coast disappear under water and reappear with the waves.
At each stage of the flood the movement of the ebb and flow is visible in the final photograph.
Thus was born the final image, striking by its aesthetic and graphic quality thanks to The abstraction of the motif and the compression of space-time.
 Note that the image remains still legible from left to right.
Fundamentally, Michael Michlmayr's work deals with the relationship between time and space. Very often, it also enters an additional component, natural or artificial light.
For the project "the sun in front of my window", he photographed with a duration of exposure of 12 hours, during 36 days, the landscape in front of his window and recorded the path of the sun with his changes of position, intensity and light quality.
While the photographer and the camera remained in the same place in the studio, the outside world was in constant motion.
In the photo "36 Days reference # 1" which shows the superposition of the paths of sunlight, we show the compression of the course of time during these 36 days. In "Calendar # 1" the calendar of these 36 days is visible.
In this exhibition, Michael Michlmayr returns to what has been driving him since the beginning of the 2000s, the notion of "photographic sequence" so dear to Duane Michals.
From a text by Petra Noll-Hammerstie and translation by Carine Foeller.

Born in the Pyrenees, in a hippie community, he immediately bathed in sharing, the "deprivation" chosen or rather the true relationship with nature and his ilk. Quickly Ysel FOURNET looks at the limits of existence.
Old age, illness, disability, poverty ... become his playgrounds. Going to the simplest, at first,
He takes his Grandfather as his model and mischievously combines his questioning about old age and his desire to know his ancestor better. 
His search for the limits pushes him towards the AP-HP (Public Assistance Hospitals of Paris) where he discovers through his photographs the heat of the bodies
and the coldness of the technical acts of the operating theaters. The world of disability is knocking on its door with a Butterfly Order
white. His photographs are enriched then with the pain, the joy, the scientific references and the writing which are superimposed.
If the destitution he experienced during his childhood remained like a DNA in his way of life, the encounter with poverty during his travels in Africa was, for him, the discovery of another limit of the life and society.
 Since Ysel wanders between the testimony, the reportage, the portrait and the staging, marrying with subtlety the beautiful and
the pregnant.
Two years of study at the GOBELINS school will be most useful to tame the light and put into practice the most modern digital techniques.
Today, nourished by his previous work, Ysel has taken a new step by combining photographic art with plastic art. Indeed far from reporting, the documentary aspect Ysel enriches his work with overprints and materials in connection with the chosen medium.
The paper disappears the metal arrives in its series named "CALLIPHORA". (... / ...) But where does this word "CALLIPHORA" come from? this is the first
question that burns our lips. Ysel specifies that it is a fly, this blue fly which has for vocation to break down the organic materials, CALLIPHORA "who bears the beauty".
And as a boomerang, the whole universe of this collection reminds us of life, death and moreover the passage.
Each photo tells us that we are only vagabonds on this earth.
From childhood to old age one would only survive on oneself so that in the end, in an eternal movement, what is dead is irremediably transformed into life. "Calliphora" everything is said.
Every moment of our existence is thus swept by the photographer.
From the procreation, at the end of life the works jostle us even in their titles. Nidicus, Passage, Homo ergaster, Dementia, Sinus or Chronos, Acid Amine "tells us the long way of life that goes to life.
Science is at the heart of this reminiscent production, the carefully hammered message that the human being is, like all organic matter, far beyond the spiritual, eternal by its constitution and thanks to this famous blue fly.
Based on interview with Xavier Beaufils 12/2018
 The technique
Ysel invites us to his workshop. No dark room, no white gloves, no wonder we are almost at a coachbuilder. Indeed, the basic material here is the corrugated sheet. It must be flattened, hit to obtain a usable plate.
For larger models the plates are riveted to make them integral. Then "just" remove the rust, brush, put rust, paint white, sublimate everything.
Three cooking at 160 ° will be necessary. Finally, we will be able to transfer the photo to a hot press and finally add an anti-UV, anti-shock varnish.
Each work is unique by its rendering and the hazards (aberrations) of these many manipulations. Of course all the creative work of the photographer was done upstream.
His two years of study at GOBELINS school are most useful for taming the light and putting the most modern digital techniques into practice.
Some landmarks
Ysel, born in 1977 in a hippie community in the south of France, studies photography at the Gobelins school in Paris.
After crisscrossing France in his truck, he is currently working in Louisfert, his adopted land of Brittany.
Photographer of reportage then plastic photographer, he also practices painting, sculpture and theater.
His universe: surreal, overwhelming, disturbing, perhaps even disturbing, which is sure it does not leave indifferent.

LAURA SMET NACKED
|
|
We are used to a modest Laura Smet when it comes to putting her body forward.
Surprise however for the fans of the daughter of Johnny Hallyday and Nathalie Baye.
She shares a picture of her naked Friday, November 9 on Instagram.
But it is in a pose sublimated by the photographer Sylvia Gamot that she agreed to pose in Eve's outfit.
A particular sensuality emerges from this photo.
We know that Laura Smet after her short film Thomas resumes filming as an actress.
Exhibition from November 1st to 30th at the Galerie Catherine Houard 6th district of Paris.

ALL ABOUT THE EXHIBITION OF PHILIPPE CALANDRE
|
|
 
I have been closely, since I discovered this place, the exhibitions proposed by the Lyon gallery "Vrais Rêves", dedicated to photography since 1980, place whose name is the title of a book by Duane Michals edited by Oak in 1977.
The artistic line of this gallery seems to be rather towards the creation, the diversion, the ambiguity in perfect adequacy with its surname carrying a specific artistic line of photography. 
 While we often put so-called documentary photography forward in the media, we can ask ourselves if it does not return to one of its first statutes that of capturing and objectively recording a reality.
Hippolyte Bayard, born in 1801, who made the first photographic staging, "The Drowning", made in 1840, had detached himself from it, and must now turn in his grave ...
 A True Dreams, currently an artist photographer Philippe Calandre presents images of the series "In perceptivo".
For him the interest is not in the objectivity but rather in the creativity, in the imaginary.
The proof, Philippe Calandre evokes the discovery by NASA of an exoterre named Kepler 452b, located 1400 light years from us.
He places his latest architectural compositions.
These forming utopias: non-places, nowhere in the first sense of the term. And yet these chimeras proceed from fragments taken from the real by his care ...
As Jean-Pierre Chambon says so subtly, I quote "(...) After having traveled the globe for a long time as a photographer, Philippe Calandre decided to organize from now on great immobile journeys towards the lands or the unknown cities which will reveal his irreproachable photomontages .
Drawing on his building materials in the stock of images he has accumulated during his wanderings and reports, he creates very clever combinations where the hybridizations work perfectly.
Like the hero of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, who speculates on "cities that are too likely to be true," he seeks to bring about a reality augmented by the imaginary.
 His fascination with industrial architectures, whose aesthetics stemmed from practical necessity and the economic imperative, led him to design strange machineries.
Hedged silos and chimneys spitting their fumes, traversed pipelines and inextricable stairs, grafted with metal bridges overhanging landscapes of deserts, its sites possess the beauty of the underworld. "
Exhibition to discover until November 10, Wednesday to Saturday from 15 to 19h or during one of the tours commented, the one in the presence of the artist, September 29 at 17h.
During this meeting Frédérique Lomba, pianist, friend of the gallery and the photographer, will propose her musical reading of the exhibition of Philippe CALANDRE
Galerie Vrais Rêves 6 rue Dumenge 69004 Lyon (France).
