I explore museums. I photograph the works, one at a time, and then make them disappear by superimposing them. I explore cities. I photograph places and monuments with a lens-less camera, a blind camera.<\/p>\n
In 2017, I began Mati\u00e8re Noire<\/em>, a photographic work that unfolds in a long temporality, that of a lifetime. Mati\u00e8re Noire<\/em> consists of photographing and superimposing \u201call\u201d modern and contemporary visual works in a single digital file until a complete black has been obtained.<\/p>\n Mati\u00e8re Noire<\/em> is an attempt at exhausting the act of photography. It is also the custodian of modernity and its legacy, echoing the works of many painters who have pared down their painting, often motivated by the wild\u2014and utopian\u2014desire to create a work that would be the sum of all works, or the last work, the last painting. The idea of the end summons all ends. Ultimately, Mati\u00e8re noire<\/em> is a way of coming to grips with finitude.<\/p>\n My approach to photography could be described as experimental : blind work, accident, blur, the detour or the failure of certain technical parameters, protocol, repetition, accumulation, mise en abime and a certain iconoclasm are the core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-34756","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":34740,"article_image_bu_de":"Martin D\u00e9silets, \u201cMati\u00e8re noire\u201d, Bildtafel 13, 19 und 16, 2021, inkjet prints auf Aluminium, 84 x 127 cm.
