Mathieu Bernard-Reymond: TV: Engl.-Französ. - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A
seductive atmosphere redolent of cinema dominates the digital photo series TV' by Mathieu Bernard-Reymond (*1976).
Isolated people who seem to be threatened by an unidentifiable danger move along
the streets at night. Only upon closer inspection does one realize that the
artist has replaced the illuminated windows with television screens. The
colorful screens do not allow anyone to look either in or out and are limited to
just a few channels. And the “wild” creatures outside the buildings―such as
animals of prey on the prowl, half-naked women, riot police, two boxers in the
middle of a fight―are merely artificial in nature, constructed out of
flickering, blurred television images.

Mathieu
Bernard-Reymond’s disturbing photographs symbolize as palpably as they do
impressively how―in a reality that is only conveyed through media―all of life
ultimately dissolves into a mass of indistinguishable
pixels.
