Journées

With a limited depth of field and a shifted perspective, Thomas Gauthier focuses on the slow corruption of places and renders a puzzle of the world to be rebuilt with poetry left to the individual.

He compresses spatial dynamics and foregrounds his obsessions with walls, tarps, signs and trees, seemingly insignificant elements that obstruct the view, but reveal the deep shadows and pure forms of the city.

By summoning a pre-existing reality and putting it back into play with each image, Journées evokes vague memories, dreams, like these human silhouettes, these urban spectres struggling with their vulnerability, which bring us back to our own daily temporality.
