Maison Prébendale in Saint-Pol-de-Léon presents the exhibition Somewhere by Stéphane Mahé.
Somewhere.
It is a place where time fades. A place where the physical contours of matter are erased.
Here photography rediscovers the delicacy of 19th century pictorialists. In his proposal Stéphane Mahé opens a window on an impalpable elsewhere and invites us to step aside, in search of an other reality. Somewhere at the edge of the world.
The place, the time does not matter… here the one who looks interprets, invents, tells his story, his stories.
Somewhere is a sequence of images that are articulated like a feverish breath in which each photo is on the other hand autonomous and offers the gaze the possibility of a beginning.
Somewhere is of course somewhere; somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow, somewhere between the corner of the street, the end of the field; a place so familiar and yet, apart from one detail, so different that you want to slowly come and get lost in it.
Stéphane Mahé : Somewhere is exhibited from March 19 until April 24, 2022 at the Prébendale house in Saint-Pol-de-Léon (Finistère)
