Antoine Schneck travels to the remotest villages of Africa, China and India in search of “authentic” faces for his portraits, which he takes against a black background, concealing the decor, expression, and relationship with the outside world. The faces appear in their perfect nakedness and interiority.
We are presenting on the stand portraits of Africans from Mali and Burkina Faso, as well as a piece of driftwood which strangely resembles these portraits.
Bertrand Hugues takes black-and-white portraits of plant life. The subtle play of light and shadow create a kind of metamorphosis, elevating the floral lines into the sublime. This highly refined work, sober and sparse, reflects the photographer’s keen sense of attention.
