Monographie

Corinne Mercadier

Magali Jauffret, Armelle Canitrot

We can not say immediately if the photographs of Corinne Mercadier exhibit presence or absence. They show what we are both very close and far apart. The dark waters of a lake, the color of the sky, a wall, a glass bottle left on a beach suddenly become more dear to our hearts possessed a treasure. The gain in density shadows, the light becomes more intense, the grain of the time spread in the color, details are scarce, nudity growing around the core of things.
This monograph traces the artistic process by Corinne Mercadier over the last fifteen years.
