Description in French only.
« Inaltérable » est le résultat d'une résidence de recherche-création de l'artiste Yann Pocreau, présentée au Musée Colby-Curtis. À travers un regard poétique et archivistique, Pocreau explore le pouvoir de la lumière et de la mémoire en revisitant des photographies anonymes et des objets photographiques de nos collections pour la plupart jamais exposés auparavant. Ce projet artistique original brouille les frontières entre présence et disparition, fiction et patrimoine. À travers ces dizaines de visages et les objets exposés défilent l’évolution des techniques et l’histoire de la photographie, de ses balbutiements à une reproduction plus commerciale. La mise en espace et la présence d’albums photographiques invitent à créer une famille fictionnelle. La banalité des visages et des poses choisies provoque un sentiment d’intemporalité, même si près d’un siècle nous sépare des personnes immortalisées. Par l’intermédiaire de cette chambre photographique, la lumière se transforme et devient une figure, un paysage. De cette lumière jaillissante, le réel prend forme, se matérialise et existe. Combien de personnes sont venues poser devant l’objectif de John Joel Parker? Si ce décompte est impossible, Pocreau immortalise ces figures en intervenant directement sur l’objet de collection. Cette trace, vouée à être altérable, nous rappelle cependant l’infime supplément d’âme qui nous est offerte, visible. Il est parfois surprenant d’oser regarder l’envers du décor pour découvrir des paysages insoupçonnés et créer de nouveaux récits. Les multiples traces de la lumière construisent aussi d’autres contours, un peu plus flous. Elles sculptent l’espace d’exposition et teintent les surfaces de couleurs spectrales. L’expérience photographique existe à partir du matériel invisible qu’est la lumière. Et s’il nous suffisait de regarder autrement...
