Dissolution
17 polyptychs, color photographs mounted on aluminium
White does not always mean white. As I had to comply with writing without writing, I had to take photographs without giving the impression of doing anything like it. In a dark and intense poem, Georg Trakl (1887-1914) writes of the black snow falling from the roofs. A tragic whiteness, haunted with colors.
I wanted to photowrite, or perhaps I wanted to write photos. It all becomes blurred. The footprints of a cat who later vanished mix with the writings of shells on the white, almost bleached beaches. The world resembles nothing and writing or describing it is worthless.
Rather describe the world with no description, let it be with no show. As it is.
The stalactit is a plastic curtain.
My veins are streams of blueprints.
The geant squid is still alive in the formol.
Spiders are filling with every corner.
Water is in every of its condition: rain, fog, snow, sea, river.
The white lichen on trees is as alive as the white night butterfly taken in broad daylight.
Nothing does not always mean nothing.
One thing is sure: from the world I extracted these pictures, from the world I dissolved these pictures.
To Jackie and Nounou, my dissoluted animals…
Cécile Moreau
