Inhaltsangabe

INSIDE VIEWS is a monograph that traces the reflection that photographer Floriane de Lassée has made on the city as we know it today: disproportionate, vertical, it is that of the megalopolis where the individual has been slowly caught up. Through her images of a fantasized city, Floriane de Lassée does not make any inventory. But constructs her own aesthetic of the city, a falsely neutral point of view, marked by a visual game with several planes, by the preponderant role of color, the geometrization of facades, by the choice of perspectives and daring frames. The city becomes a field of experimentation that she transforms into a reservoir of signs by the choice of a specific device. “The city as a privileged photographic territory appears from the birth of photography (even if the first image, that of Niepce, is rural),” recalls Gilles Mora. “From then on, the medium never ceases to accompany and document the city and its transformations, the events that punctuate its existence, the monuments, and more rarely the banality of its daily life or its spaces without qualities,” adds Thierry Bonzon. Floriane de Lassée, as an attentive observer of the world and social relationships, brings her stone to the fascinating edifice of urban photography, which is only a confrontation of the medium with reality. As for any artist, it is always and still a question of “coinciding with the contemporary world and integrating it into art (...) and inventing absolutely new forms of expression”. Here, each “view”, like a Hopper painting, is a story in itself where one can project oneself until the night fades and the lights disappear.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

For ten years now, photographer Floriane de Lassée has been building a series in which vast cityscapes and the intimate lives of the people who inhabit them are brought together in provocative fusion. This work started from her own experience, when she was new to NYC and didn't know many people Inside Views takes us from the collective to the intimate, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small: at first glance, sweeping urban landscapes bring us up against the impersonal face of the big city. But a closer look reveals the presence of residents, caught unawares as they move within the privacy of their intimate spaces.
With sophisticated stagings, Floriane de Lassée continued to explore the contradictions of our contemporary lives, more and more urban, between the need to be one with the city and the dehumanization of a solitary anonymity, sometimes chosen, often imposed
