Initially an actor, \u00c9ric Rondepierre then turned\u2014via painting\u2014to photographic work connected to cinema. His artistic practice explores the dynamic relationship between these two disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early 1990s, he began exploring the “blind spots” of the cinematic apparatus. His approach involves selecting, according to well-defined criteria, and then photographing photograms (that is, images that appear on the screen for 1\/24th of a second and are invisible during a normal projection), subsequently presenting them as large-format photographic prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a spectator, archivist, or archaeologist, \u00c9ric Rondepierre identifies film images related to \u201cparasitic, peripheral, accidental, micro-phenomenal events that no longer have any connection whatsoever with cinema.\u201d Whether documenting fiction or fictionalizing the document, Rondepierre\u2019s work observes the aberrations of the filmic apparatus, authenticates the discrepancies, the metamorphoses of orphaned images, provokes encounters and hybridizations, and develops hypotheses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Images secondes brings together all the series the artist has created over the past twenty-five years and includes previously unpublished essays by Jacques Ranci\u00e8re and Catherine Millet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":25519,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"nature":[1281],"statutdeslivres":[],"class_list":["post-25505","livre","type-livre","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nature-photographie-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
