beaux livres : photo, architecture, art

And the blue of the sky in Manuela Marques’ shadow revisits the unique experience of landscape that the artist was able to develop at the invitation of the Lodève museum. Rather than favoring large photographs with spectacular views—which the Larzac plateaus or the surroundings of Lake Salagou easily inspire—she preferred to experiment with a more intimate and sensitive approach to landscape. Observation, movement, and the collection of elements (stones, wood, plants) are an integral part of the development of the work. The artist then incorporated these collections into a new kind of botanical illustration or into large photographic compositions where optical illusions, black mirrors, and reflections create a new perspective: between the vision of a landscape and the imagination it inspires. In a way, she reinvents a landscape through its intrinsic elements.
