TERRES, photographies de Anne Deguelle et Anne-Marie Filaire

Saturday November 09
Atelier Blanc 12200 Villefranche-de-Rouergue
Anne-Marie Filaire and Anne Deguelle set out in search of nearby and distant landscapes that are constantly transformed by human activity. By recording the traces of time, they highlight ecological and social issues.

Anne-Marie Filaire visited six sites in Greater Paris in operation, to photograph the reception of excavated land, this particular moment when landscape profiles are drawn. Through her lens, she manages to reveal the morphology but also the intrinsic beauty of these sites, usually closed to the public. Her work also highlights the ecological and social issues by testifying to the transformation of a city by extractivism. Concerned for more than twenty years by the question of landscape, the artist deploys a constant gesture: to collect the traces of time on the materiality of a territory.

Ten years ago, Anne Deguelle set out on a journey in search of white. Her quest took her to the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, at the gateway to the North Pole. There, at the crossroads of paths and worlds, outside of day-night temporality, while white converses with blue, stands a ghost town: Pyramiden, an autonomous Soviet city, built around a mining concession in Norwegian territory, abandoned in 1998. With L'Arctique fantôme, a unique series in her work, Anne Deguelle collects the fragments of existence of this closed-door environment and questions history and its making. The stories intertwine; the temporalities collide.
