The Vanishing
Format: 14,8x21cm Single print Recylced paper.
2018
The Vanishings is a set of fifteen squared images on transparent rhodoid paper placed randomly in a book filled with white pages. They were chosen for their historical content as a reflection of the confused use of historical archives on the internet and storage platforms. The set exposes different ways for images to appear and disappear when faced to a completely different exposure. Out of their original context, the figures are no longer seen as historical but as characters surrounded by a neutral background.
Stock images:
1- Le baigneur (The bather): Garry Winogrand, Coney Island, New York.
2- Le dormeur (The sleeper): Lee Miller, Dead SS Guard, Floating in Canal," Dachau, 1945.
3- Les coureurs (The runners), La rencontre (The meeting): photographs of civilian protests from May 68, Bordeaux, France.
4- Le danseur (The dancer): student protests of May 4, 1970, Kent State University in Ohio
5- Les joueurs (The players): prisoners from the Mauthausen concentration camp, Austria.
