Carte blanche given to photographer Alexandre Dufaye.
On the edge of evidence and invention, “it is the viewers who make the paintings,” says Marcel Duchamp. Likewise, Alexandre Dufaye stimulates the imagination of the viewer. A photographer, he stretches his vision of reality to infinity. He invests in turn the architecture and the landscape as one seizes a piece of memory whose contours blur to the point of abstraction.
The empty apartment which houses the pieces from the furniture and decorative object brand Caroline Andréoni La Maison becomes an introspective cocoon to reconnect with a memory exercise. In the context of the uncertainty of a future renovation project, the filigree portrait of fragments of objects and moments of pleasure is articulated.
Behind the appearance of the representation, signs communicate. The Haussmannian framework, the lines and highlights of the apartment become the framework for an exercise where the desire to fuse a memorial material dominates. Carried by a satiny and precious light, the obsession of desire is combined with a simulacrum of infinity.
