As it stands, this is an evolving work, a work in progress, begun on July 13, 1999, after Franck G\u00e9rard nearly died. Since then, the artist’s photographic practice has radically changed: the image has become a vital, incessant act, and the thousands of accumulated photographs have come to constitute a state of seeing the world, also positing a state of the world. The notion of abundance, of an overflow of images, affirms a presence in the world grounded in perception. Through an observation of reality that is as methodical as it is haphazard, linked to the artist’s wanderings in public spaces, Franck G\u00e9rard captures situations without preconceptions or preconceptions: offering simply “what he sees.” More observer than interventionist, the photographer’s eye draws up, territory after territory, city after city, a veritable lexicon with a universal vocation where the slightest incongruous gesture, the slightest banal or extraordinary situation, the slightest incident, are listed as so many states constituting our daily life, and through it, the very movement of the world as it goes, as it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18279,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"nature":[1281],"statutdeslivres":[],"class_list":["post-27147","livre","type-livre","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nature-photographie-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
