Hommage à David Hockney, Piscine & Jacuzzi, 60 éléments, Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA

Cette œuvre a été exposée à la galerie SPARTS, 41 rue de Seine, Paris en Octobre 2010.
certificat ART-Trust


This composition was produced during a stay in South Carolina, at Hilton Head, around 2005, in a tribute to Pop Art and David Hockney. I used a Polaroid SX 70 and built this image with false fittings, in order to achieve a visual consistency where the water plays with the reflections of the shadows of the overhanging pine trees. Starfish add a decorative side, to distract the eye.

Two different perspectives are granted here, the jacuzzi is not in the perspective of the swimming pool and the house. This inconsistency of the point of view which combines 2 different perspectives should make the image "swear". However, it is not. A game is offered to the gaze which "compensates" for the inconsistency of the point of view and walks through the image, without really being disturbed.

During this first period of creation, I sought to test and cause accidents to make the gaze less dependent on the conventional uniformity of photography, by introducing aberrations.
To break with a way of seeing, photography from a unique point of view governed by the unique perspective, to introduce this fragmentation of the gaze, which is for me a sign of this time ... and possibly open it to an alterity.
Some quotes are discreetly present here ...

Pascal Therme

Pascal Therme

France  • 1964

Following his studies in Letters, in 1988, Pascal Therme was associated for his photography in Parisian fashion, alongside the Couturiers and the most prestigious brands. Throughout this period, he pursued a visual creation based on experiences of deconstruction of the image. These experiments apply to all subjects treated by painting, Nudes, Portraits, Landscapes, Architectures, Interiors.

The object is a renewal of the vision and is based on the experience of David Hockney, The Grand Canyon, on the legacy of Cubism through a certain multi-perspective, on the formal legacy of the New Wave of Cinema. His montages, built by numerous photographs, autonomous, sequenced elements recompose a unit, making Image, wish to escape the unique perspective (camera obscura) and decisive time, founding couple of all photography, in a different approach to what makes an image , photography.

His compositions have used several media such as the Polaroid SX70 and its 35mm, then the ektachrome and the 105mm, the 180mm and are placed under the aegis of the Wisdom of Eros, a concept articulating the plastic artist and the man of letters, of being, in an original, even native writing.

Using the montage of these elements, driven by different guiding principles, multiple occurrences, Pascal Therme seeks to reintegrate the Secret Harmony of the Dream (a midsummer night's dream) through the discontinuity of the world, in a broken mirror , then redialed. This discontinuity creates a rhythm, so much so that the montages always seem to renew themselves, to wave, to breathe. A part of the Living seems inscribed there, between Apollo and Dionysos.

These montages are offered here in the form of quality prints, in various sizes.

A fragile beauty, in these precarious balances, has worked. This always experimental work was based on the tempo, the color, the blur and the sharpness, the modulation of the point of view, an interior traveling, different points of view and perspectives, seeking through the territories, to build a Unit, to approach the musical harmony of the dream in its visual correspondences. All an inspired plastic work.

These photographic paintings offer a Poetics of Space and Time recomposed, rediscovered, in dazzling colors.
