Tracehumance

Over a period of forty years, Jacques Pugin has developed a highly coherent body of photographic work, seeking original aesthetic principles and his own artistic language, in a style that emerges as the changing landcapes unfold. His style appears in the recurrent use of hand-written markings, traces and signs, his experimentation with photographic techniques, use of video and satellite images.

Jacques Pugin’s work is characterized by aesthetic and visual ambition, associated with a keen quest for meaning, the driving principle behind a work of art in the making. Intelligence, originality, beauty and perfection are the hallmarks of Jacques Pugin’s work, constructed with remarkable artistic sensibility and closely linked to contemporary culture.
