The Chemigram, which is similar to the Photogram and the Luminogram, is a primary form of the photographic image. It is based on the reaction of photosensitive paper with developer and fixer and therefore on photochemical reactions, combining the physical properties of color (oil-varnish, wax, oil) with the chemistry used in photography (photosensitive layers, developer, fixer)—without a camera, enlarger, and via natural daylight.
Belgian native Pierre Cordier is the initiator of the Chemigram, the first was created in 1956. In 1963 the term became protected by copyright. Without ever using a camera, Cordier produces photographs merely by utilizing and influencing the process of the photochemical reaction on photosensitive paper in the time of developing and fixing. For Cordier, who locates the Chemigram between the genres photography, painting, ceramics, and gravure, the term Chemigram describes both: the technical process and the resulting image. The principle of randomness, that is of great importance in his oeuvre, opens numerous possibilities for creation.
In 1958, Cordier followed an invitation by Otto Steinert to come to Saarbrücken to visit. Steinert noted: The ‘Chemigrams’ are doubtless one step in the development of artistic photography and its history. No painter is able to create structures and colors with as high precision as Pierre Cordier.
His works are part of numerous international private and public collections. Most recently the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2008) and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (2010) bought pieces of art.
Since 2011, Cordier has been collaborating with Austrian artist Gundi Falk.
Pierre Cordier lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
