“For the series” anterooms, “Anne Immelé was immersed in the urban space Rhine at the crossroads of three countries (France, Germany, Switzerland).
Walls aseptic soil “planned”, parks appear empty as Powers motionless, suspended in time devenirs and possible matches. Space under construction that are already broken cover ahead of the housing body huddled as poor acting here as attendance policies and poetic, revealing the familiar world of turmoil, the emotional burdens of matter and its motion-only memory. Set of faces seem distant and seal a meditative movement with another side of the world, full of uncertainties and possible.
Photographer inquiète our visions of urbanity and questioned the ownership, habitation by men of architectural projects. His images of bodies circumscribe facade to fill, crossing walk or desert, lonely estates, yards filled with imaginary, paths inhabited not by the Children, soil crumbs. Immelé at Anne, the urban landscape is the opposite of a silent background, enveloping and comforting. These latent intranquillités are strengths of knowledge that call to rethink our ordinary urban. “Maury Corinne
