the artist aurélien réal has never ceased to propose his penetrating vision of the ordeal of existence through a gesture in which photography and cinematography, allied with writing and sound experiment, allow to see and feel what moves within us in the night, aspiring to be discovered…
to date, the entirety of his work invites us to explore the edge and the crossing of boundaries. the flavor of the unheard-of risk of the going beyond the artwork is the trace of.
here, magnetic night is his work in black. traces below the perception line of the known day: the night as it summons us to the imperceptible… then the vision of indistinction and unknowing awakes, from which emerges with the silent moonlight the vibrance of unknown forms, a spectral dance of figurative abstraction, the foetal flavor of the first gaze. thus, each photograph trembles with the impossible perception of states of nature, of human behavior and situations, rural and urban places, or the dark political climates besieging bodies and assigned flesh…
the magnetic night exhibition is driven by this gesture, weaving together photographs, sculptures, texts and sound materials to express and translate this wandering in the uncertain, where arises the flavor without why.
