“This intuition of an event, of a story that is waiting to begin or end, do you also experience it? »
These words, taken from Jakuta Alikavasovic's *Where Does Light Come From? *, will accompany you throughout your visit to this exhibition of 31 photographs. 📷
Drawn from four distinct series, these works are the creation of Frédéric Stucin, who specializes in portraits of both celebrities and ordinary people. Here, the choice was made to transport you into enigmatic atmospheres. ❓🤔
We touch the darkness; we play with light, natural and created from scratch. Just before nightfall, his creative process is activated to disturb the viewer and transform the parking lot of a supermarket or a gas station into a film set. 🎥
This blurs the line between imagination and reality. We begin to see silhouettes where there aren't any (or perhaps there are?), to pierce the shadows with our unreliable eyes, to gather our minds to extract meaning. 👀🧠🔍
Each photograph is an invitation to interpret or reinterpret a story. Is it a young man meditating and pondering the meaning of his existence? A solitary walker taking a break away from prying eyes? A homeless person who happened to cross paths with the photographer's lens? 🚶♂️
Sometimes there's no need to find meaning. The image imposes itself on us without our permission. We then begin to contemplate it for several minutes. We let our eyes and mind absorb it, as if the image were expressing itself in a language that requires no words. 🗣
Most don't have names. What’s the point when your emotions are touched directly? ❤
For those who love words as much as images, the texts of Jakuta Alikavasovic take a look at the photographs of Frédéric Stucin. She depicts her encounter with the works, between concern and wonder. 📝✏
That's probably the best way to sum up my visit to the exhibition. A mix of apprehension and wonder. I completely lost track of the time I spent there. ✨
I recommend the exhibition to all photography enthusiasts! 😄
