Last weekend I came across the work of SYLVAIN COUZINET-JACQUES during the portfolio viewing entitled Plat(t)form which takes place every year during three days at Fotomuseum in Winterthur.

SYLVAIN COUZINET-JACQUES is a french photographer who questions digital photography and photographic representation since 2010. His research focuses on the perception, atmosphere, texture, suggestion and (re)-construction of an image. The result is almost all in gradations of black and white, and the subject matter often consists of ambiguous recordings of city views, urban landscapes, spaces, objects and bodies.

The photographs have a snapshot-like, ephemeral quality, while each image builds a very subjective vision of reality in which objects, matter and representation are melted. Furthermore his use of extreme lightening and darkening makes for an atmosphere of uncertainty and indeterminacy, sometimes even evolving into the realm of complete abstraction.

Good news: his work is currently on view at Galerie Mad in Marseille until 2 February, 2013. Additionally he will be part of the Salon de Montrouge from 16 May to 12 June, 2013.
