The Earth Gallery, based in Paris presents until March 15th, 2016 Ghosts of Glory , a exhibition by Franco-American artist, art director and photographer Guilhem de Castelbajac.
The artist Guilhem de Castelbajac is foremost inspired by historical marks and traces, encountered on his peregrinations to forgotten places, ruins, and nebulous streets – all of which have come to symbolize immemorial battlefields.
In the enigmatic images formed by these encounters, Castelbajac transports these battle scars and successes into an undatable vortex, where heroes, chimeras, and power structures wash into myth.
These myths, which compose contemporary society – a space where digital prolificacy has congealed memory into collective numbness – influence Castelbajac’s desire to create a crystalline defiance of numerical era, a trail left by the invisible.
