A.galerie is exhibiting Bruno Aveillan until November 15 with an exhibition entitled: Vu de ma fenêtre. Arnaud Adida tells us about the photographer:
I met Bruno Aveillan, the photographer, about ten years ago. It was during a cocktail in the house of Jean-Baptiste Danet, my best friend, who left us a few days ago. I say Bruno the photographer because his primary profession, his international fame, he owes to his career as a director.
A Peugeot that pierces the sea creating feline waves, it’s him, an Indian palace that rises from the ground for Natalia Vodianova, it’s also him, on command for Guerlain. A panther starting from Place Vendôme and crossing a fantastic world in a 3-minute-and-a-half advertising clip for Cartier is Bruno Aveillan. At the time, this film, the most expensive in history, was revealed in prime time on TF1 on a Sunday evening, between the news hour and the major weekly film.
And then the sublime Arte documentary, on the centenary of Rodin (“Les Portes de l’Enfer”), a masterful creation by this ultra-talented director, the most gifted of his generation. The entire life of the sculptor in Bruno’s eye, a narrative and technical feat. Try to find it! A few years ago, Bruno told me: “I am regularly approached by Hollywood producers to direct feature films, but a Hollywood film is two years of your life, and I cannot stay away from my clients for so long.”
His films allow him to travel the world and offer his eyes wonders to photograph. Because his second passion is photography, which he treats with the same poetry and the same technicality as his films. His photographic work is suggestion, imagination, artistic blur, which will allow you to travel thanks to an image, which takes you to the other side of the world or to your imaginary world, in a most captivating aesthetic.
In the exhibition “Vu de ma fenêtre“, we show some images from these trips and two new, completely new series “At The Edge of the Green Void” and “Complex Fluidity”. The first is a photographic research on flora while the second explores the complexities of water. Splendid and environmental.
“Vu de ma fenêtre“ is also the title of one of the photos in the exhibition, taken in Shanghai. (see photos)
