Exhibition of a German photographer Jessica Backhaus in the Centre de la photographie in Mougins
A colourful world, a world in which reality is divided into sequences as if in a film. Photography has so many difficulties in understanding reality that it must create its own version, and if it is to do that, it may as well reflect a personal world, under the amused and protective gazes of Matisse and Albers.
Sometimes, the photographer must return to the fundamentals, knowing how to set values and arrange colours on sheets of paper, letting them live and arranging them. Perception cannot be thought. It is self-evident. It cannot be measured. What if, as Jessica Backhaus wishes, it were explored by associating feelings and virtues with primary colours: the presentiment of Goethe. A vision that is simultaneously reassuring and disturbing, between pleasure and questioning.
Of course, colour is make-up. It deceives and seduces us. Observe too closely and become hypnotised. The images of Jessica Backhaus also possess a hypnotic power. And yet they are nothing more than paper, light, pure colour and shadow, yet somehow they provide the images with a vibrancy, a life of their own.
Every Wednesday and Saturday at 15 : 00, during the exhibition periods, the team at the Mougins Center of Photography offers you a guided tour of the current exhibition.
