A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This selection transports us to the West Coast of the United States, capturing the vibrant and contrasting essence of California through the prism of the still image. Through urban vistas bathed in saturated sunlight or graphic botanical details like those of the yuccas of La Jolla, the curation paints a portrait of a territory where untamed nature and human audacity meet under an ever-changing light. The aesthetic of this collection rests exclusively on the power of the photographic vision and the sharpness of the prints. The exhibition favors digital on paper and analog, media that magnify the purity of architectural lines and the intense chromatic contrasts of the West. The use of digital on plexiglass lends a brilliant depth to certain aerial views, while digital on aluminum accentuates the industrial and modern character of urban landscapes. By playing on the deep blacks and whites of the Griffith Observatory or the vibrant hues of Santa Monica's amusement parks, this selection transforms Californian reality into a purely visual experience, where every pixel and every grain of paper bears witness to the breath of freedom.
