Présentation

Andrea Graziosi try to capture an eternity in Nunc Stans by photographing the Sainte-Victoire mountain, an omnipresent subject in the history of art.

“For five years I have been photographing the Sainte-Victoire mountain and its surroundings. I try to explore the possibilities offered by the photographic technique of capturing or grasping the unrepresentable, by working on a subject which, precisely, has been used many times in the history of art. What remains invisible when you've seen it all? What can we represent that has not already been shown? These questions are what determined my approach.

In this sense, Cézanne will have been a guide in learning not to see, facing the mountain. It seems to me that photography has to deal with the exhaustion of the subject (s) that characterize the contemporary world. Faced with the globalization of remakes, I try, through a local approach, to appropriate an optic, to embody it, to live it photographically. "
