The renowned gallery on la rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie and its host Baudoin Lebon, are presenting works from three Tendance Floue photographers : Résonance by Thierry Ardouin, Monumental by Patrick Tourneboeuf, and pictures by Flore-Aël Surun.
Thierry Ardouin’s Résonance is comprised of two photo stories interacting with each other : Terres Paysanes, a poetic discovery of the Indian countryside and peasant movement, navigating back and forth between tools and soil, nature and agriculture: and La Bonne Graine, a series of portraits of legal and illegal grains. Contrary to generic pack shots, these pictures question our relation to food and its origins. With Monumental, Patrick Tourneboeuf questions identity of place with concision and radical framing, an affirmed construction of his viewpoint. This very deliberate approach to the environment, architecture, and urban landscapes reveals a concept of space and aesthetics that converse with geographical, sociological and historical aspects of place. Flore-Aël Surun takes pictures of survivors. She looks for locations where life is surviving, rioting: in the fringe of the G8 riots in Annemasse; among resistant American soldiers resisting what they consider an illegal war in Iraq; in India among non-violent Tibetan demonstrators seeking freedom and justice; in Copenhagen for the first Climate world summit.
