All That Glitters & Shanshui

Through photography and video, Hélène Marcoz responds to the complexity of reality and the myriad perceptions that arise from it. She seeks to explore the connections that form between the gaze, the image, place, and time.

The concept of “ I am here (in space) and now (in time) "stems, in its approach, from the act of capturing reality through a frame: which 'here,' which 'now' should be shown in this world inundated with images?"

His work also draws inspiration from observations of everyday life; the images are always taken from the reality around him.

Finally, she reflects on the relationship between painting and photography or video. Her practice demonstrates a certain flexibility in her use of the medium, which adapts to the process she establishes in service of her artistic intent and visual expression.
