Chinese City<\/h3>\n

Chinese City <\/em>pr\u00e9sente des photographies r\u00e9alis\u00e9es au cours d’errances nocturnes dans la ville de Chengdu entre 2009 et 2011, puis par la suite dans d’autres villes de Chine.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Ces errances dans cet autre Chengdu sont des plong\u00e9es, nuit apr\u00e8s nuit, dans un oc\u00e9an de lumi\u00e8re diffuse qui transforme le paysage urbain. A travers l’homog\u00e9n\u00e9it\u00e9 des tons, l’encha\u00eenement des avenues et des ruelles, l’\u00e9chelle et le vide des espaces qui ne r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que traces de la pr\u00e9sence humaine, ces randonn\u00e9es nocturnes s’apparentent \u00e0 l’exploration de fonds sous-marins. Les constructions sont des masses qui dominent et s’estompent dans les hauteurs, qui perdent de leur pr\u00e9sence en s’inscrivant dans une trame de fond. Les lieux et les sc\u00e8nes prennent toute leur importance, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant une essence d\u00e9nu\u00e9e du contexte et des interpr\u00e9tations que g\u00e9n\u00e8rent l’activit\u00e9 et les couleurs du jour.<\/p>\n

Les espaces vastes, ouverts et fortement \u00e9clair\u00e9s de nuit ne sont pas fr\u00e9quents. Ils instillent \u00e0 la limite de la conscience un sentiment sous-jacent d’appr\u00e9hension. Je traverse un monde d\u00e9mesur\u00e9 mais lumineux, altern\u00e9 par l’abri des ruelles et de la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie des \u00e9clairages. D’autre part, la constance de ces paysages brumeux et presque monochromatiques, au fil des nuits et de rue en rue, est captivante. Alors que la qui\u00e9tude des sc\u00e8nes et l’\u00e9touffement des sons cr\u00e9ent un refuge pour la solitude, les lumi\u00e8res aveuglantes des avenues si brutalement vides hypnotisent l’esprit. Je photographie alors en toute intensit\u00e9 des paysages fantastiques.<\/p>\n

A travers Chengdu, le projet est une recherche g\u00e9n\u00e9rale sur l’identit\u00e9 visuelle qu’une ville peut avoir suite \u00e0 plusieurs d\u00e9cennies de troubles et de d\u00e9veloppement<\/em> ayant entra\u00een\u00e9 la destruction de nombreux \u00e9l\u00e9ments visuels. Les m\u00e9tropoles des pays \u00e9mergents sont souvent per\u00e7ues comme (re)construites \u00e0 l’identique, par opposition aux villes europ\u00e9ennes charg\u00e9es de symboles distinctifs. Ayant travers\u00e9 plusieurs de ces villes dites nouvelles en Asie, je focalise ici cette recherche sur Chengdu. A un autre niveau, mon attention s’est tourn\u00e9e vers des sc\u00e8nes \u00e9voquant la \u00abChine mill\u00e9naire\u00bb, une id\u00e9e tant vague que fascinante aliment\u00e9e par les explorateurs et les orientalistes au sein de l’imaginaire occidental. Ces divers \u00e9l\u00e9ments contribuent \u00e0 l’\u00e9mergence d’images qui sont \u00e0 la crois\u00e9e entre la recherche d’une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 visuelle d’une part, et la projection des fictions personnelles du photographe d’autre part.<\/p>\n
