Galerie Binôme’s latest exhibition is entitled Second Hands and features seven artists who apply an array of cross-disciplinary image-making practices. They come from the visual arts, photography, the realm of art collection … or they are quite simply artists. They acquire old photography collections, found at flea markets, in studio archives or bought from websites or auctions, and use them as a raw material, transforming the images and turning them into new works of art.
In the age of the internet and digital creation, artists like this are shunning technology and even their cameras to work instead with prints and negatives from unknown sources and with no apparent value or status. The artists on show here pay homage to the primitive era of film photography when images were only revealed after development and printing, their works symbolising a new approach to tangibility and tactility.
