Présentation
Detached from any romantic or touristic vision of the landscape, Michel Le Belhomme’s photographic research develops an ambiguous relation with representation, between document and fiction. Extoling an analytical photography, his images place the spectator in a situation of visual precariousness, in search of a sense with which to separate the real from the false.
Disconcerting relationships of scale, deconstruction of the environment, installations in situ: each image reveals at first a field of experimentation, a test of reality. Where are we, and what exactly are we seeing?
