Description
"Fade Out Lines", artwork from the Blank series.
Digital collage of 108 photographs, taken by the artist between 2018 and 2020 in France.

Fine Art pigment print on Hahnemülhe Photo Rag ultra smooth paper.

The Blank project focuses on the marks of transition and renewal that punctuate the city, through the photography of shops and bistros that are closed or under construction, whose windows have been painted in Meudon white. It is a white surface, fragile and altered at the slightest friction, an ephemeral screen that protects from view, and hides a transformation. In this Blank series, the pictorial photographic assembly is based on the gesture of so many craftsmen who have each expressed their personality.
Mélina Bismuth, Fade Out Lines
France  • 1978

Presentation

Mélina Bismuth's photographic practice is a research on reconstruction and regeneration. Through his digital assemblages, the omnipresent photographic subject - urban works - fades away. She recomposes her own reality, through an abstract and pictorial work, sensitive and timeless.

His large photographic assemblages are made from photographs of urban renovation sites. Scaffolding tarpaulins, closed shop windows whitewashed with Meudon white, reflections on the windows... so many screens that conceal the works and delimit the border between the interior world and the exterior world, worn by time, dust, friction.

His collection of thousands of photographs becomes a palette of colors and textures, a material to model.

The word "rebuild" sums up his artistic gesture. He goes through a long process of fragmenting hundreds of photographs, then of reconstruction (assembling them meticulously so as to bring out movement, relief, depth).

The final work is a pigment photographic print on matte paper. The spectator, seized by the movement of this surface which comes to life, wonders about the very nature of the work and thus about the limits between photography and abstract painting. He discovers by carefully observing this material, ephemeral, in degradation, sublimated.
