Substance and Paradoxes

Since the 1980s, Patrick Bailly-Maître-Grand pursues a quest developing a unique conceptual Poetics. He explores with inventiveness and stages with a mischievous virtuosity the photographic Act, since the manufacture of the image to its destination.

Bailly-Maître-Grand reinvests the history of technology and offers an overview of the process. He operates countdown properties : light becomes matter, the substance becomes evanescence. Etienne Jules Marey is his master. He draws his inspiration through collections of anonymous photographs.

Since Uematsu began his career, he has pursued the fo?owing concept: ? What l want to do is to make visible existence, visible connections and visible relations appear more clearly.  And to cause non? visible existence, non?visible connections and non? visible relations to appear. And to cause visible existence, visible connections and visible relations not to appear"

From his early photography in 1970s, some works are about measuring the scale of space and the relation of effects with his body, others are about making invisible things visible.

Tanc will perform on the Booth for 8e Avenue reproducing his Art and Action.
