Falsities, Monument. 2010. C-print. 30 x 40 cm

–

Oxidation, crystallization, pictorial qualities of certain textures, deconstruction and lightening of mass are the vocabulary of  VALERIE COLLART, a French artist who now lives and works in Danemark.

“Falsities”, is a series of photographs, started in 2010, which has been physically manipulated in order to create an other tension in the image regarding the composition as well as, the historical background of what is represented in the photo. The colors, that appear, come from the chemical compounds of the inks, which have been slowly sanded down from the surface of the photo.

One of her key interests is exploring the idea of surfaces giving a false impression to an objects contents, contradicting our impression of its volume. Make sure to view more intriguing projects via her website http://valeriecollart.net/.
