Défragmentation urbaine , terrasse, vin rouge / David Hockney tribute, 2008

Bze Bzeland  

Bze works on two series presented in the style of A chair, Luxembourg garden, Paris, 10th august 1985 by David Hockney. 

Unique edition on matte paper.

The figure of the object is divided into several axes of vision and in a cubist approach to the composition. But, fragmented according to multidirectional folds, the image does not divide. All it can do is objectify itself, separate itself from the background, and throw itself to our face. Its resistance to being put into pieces and its complicity with fragmentation knot what should be called a RE-presentation of the conventional world. A distorted transcription, in order to propose another facet of reality, to emphasize the omnipresence of its irrationality, to affirm its subjectivity, and which modifies its meaning. The photographic nature of its components inscribes it by default in truth, but a truth always partial. Because they are fragmented, its components, in fact, lie by omission. 

The partiality of the photographic framing is mitigated by the assembly of several images from the same field. Because it accounts for the fragmentation in the unity, the image tends towards a truth that does not deny its subjectivity. The tool for this project is a digital reflex and all the images presented are virtually photomontages.

The gaze stops on a photographic composition where the everyday is fragmented. The frame deconstructs a banal interior to extract a graphic tension. Broken lines cut the space. They create a play of mirrors and reflections. 
The chromatic palette opposes neutral tones to a deep red. This color saturates the center of the image and draws attention to a glass placed on a table. The light sculpts the volumes with precision. The visual treatment evokes a rigorous digital collage. 
The image explores the notion of defragmentation. It transforms simple objects into architectural elements. The dynamism of the layout recalls the energy of the urban environment. 
This limited edition was made in 2008. The print on fine art paper ensures optimal rendering quality. The graphic imprint underlines a link between photography and contemporary art. The composition rests on a fragile balance between abstraction and realism. Each angle reinforces the geometric aspect of the scene.
