Presentation

Since their first exhibition in Zurich in 2012, Robin Bucher and Patrick Csajko have offered intriguing work that invites us to explore - between humor and poetry - their desire to transform reality and its forms. Robin Bucher (* 1983, Versailles) and Patrick Csajko (* 1983, Strasbourg) meet at the Vevey School of Photography, where they graduate in 2007. Launched as independent photographers, they have a career in photography advertising - and the story could have ended there. Something never ceases to work on them: the image which is printed behind the shutter is no longer sufficient, it asks to grow, to escape, it is metamorphosed and demands to be deployed in space. In 2012, they began as a duo an artistic work focused on anamorphosis, this art of reversible deformation of an image using an optical system such as a mirror. They experiment from the vast playing field of the image that emerges, takes shape, explodes, looks around the better to assert, referring to both Markus Raetz and Raymond Devos. Words as much as images are indeed the creative engines behind sculptures and installations all presenting one thing in common: the use of anamorphosis. The play on words - which is based on homonymy, homophony, misunderstanding among so many other things - is translated in Bucher / Csajko in skilfully staged images, in a mastered visual imbroglio, with an imminent outcome. The game of gaze, in which Baltrušaitis' seminal definition of anamorphosis resonates as destruction for a recovery, a poetics of abstraction, is practiced on the chessboard of the eye which wanders off then marvels in a laugh to find the lost image, thanks to a perpetual movement.
