EXPOSITION STRANGER PROJECT VAV GALERIE CONCORDIA MONTRÉAL 5 JANVIER À 19H


A stranger, Montreal subway, Kathy 74 years old


Démarche:
Interroger le monde moderne dans lequel on vit et tenter de briser l'individualisme et l’anonymat de la grande ville. En allant dans des Non-lieux (métro, centre commercial, rue passante à l’heure de pointe) et en demandant à des étrangers de les prendre en photo, je brise pour quelques instants le fonctionnement habituel de ce monde moderne. Je rend ces Non-lieux existants en y créant un événement dont l’étranger va se souvenir.


About me
My website


Approach to photography:
Questioning the modern world in which we are living and trying to break this individualism and the anonymity of the big city. By going into “Non-lieux” (no existing places) (subways, malls, and crowded streets at rush hours …;) and by talking to people to take photos, I break the usual way this modern world works for a few instants. I make real these “non-lieux” by creating an event that the stranger will remember.

Hi I am writing a article for PHOTOTUTS+ ([link]) and I would like to feature your photo in a collection of 40 amazing female portraits.

It would be in the same format of all my other articles ([[link]) there would be a link to your photo so people can comment and look at your other work.

Naturally I would send you a copy of the end article once published.

Thanks Peter.

(I do need a reply by ASAP! - If I don't hear I will assume you don't want to take part!)

Superbes, comme toujours. Est-ce que l'exposition à lieu seulement une journée ou c'est le vernissage le 5?
J'aimerais y assister mais je ne sais pas si je vais pouvoir me libérer le 5.
