Cerise Doucède and her work first gained notoriety in 2013 when she won the HSBC photography award. Galerie Charron in Paris is presenting her work throughout June with Mimesis, an exhibition of her images and those of painter Michael Doucet. Cerise is showing her series entitled Égarements (or ‘Lost in thought’) in which she set out to illustrate an array of everyday hallucinations, something all of us can relate to: in other words, those moments where we lose focus and start to daydream or think about something else.
The characters in the images look blank, as if they were elsewhere… but their mind is buzzing and they project their fantasies, obsessions and fears on to the surrounding decor. The imagination transcends reality and the invisible becomes visible. Around them, the objects come to life as if by magic, flying, piling up or grouping together. The thoughts projected by the characters let them switch off from the daily monotony and take life a little less seriously for a while. Every photograph relates directly to the protagonists and their own universe.
