FX Pelissier: Between Figure and Form - curated by Natalie Slater

A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - Photography has long been associated with documentation, yet FX Pelissier approaches the medium as an act of transformation. Across this selection, the human figure moves between recognition and abstraction, dissolving into silhouettes, contours, and gestures that blur the boundary between body and form. Working in monochrome, Pelissier strips away the descriptive qualities of color, allowing light and shadow to shape each composition. Limbs become lines, torsos become volumes, and moments of movement resolve into quiet, sculptural studies. Each image reveals just enough, leaving space for ambiguity and inviting the eye to complete what remains unseen. Bringing together works from several bodies of work, this curation highlights the consistency of Pelissier’s visual language. Whether in motion or stillness, the figure is never fixed—it is continuously redefined through composition, contrast, and light, where photography begins to feel less like representation and more like sculpture.
