Distinct Perception
- Gallery Emotion (Paris, France)
- From November 2004 to January 2005
The work by photographer Yves Gellie on the Near East offers a new photographic approach of a war-ravaged region. Inscribed in an aesthetic of the trace, his images, which appear as simple and hardly forthcoming, maintain a form of visual euphemism. Yves Gellie explores a double dimension of photography - the real dimension and the narrative and fictional dimension - which allows the viewer to distance himself from the image and to revisit it by means of his own memory.
