Charles Fréger – Silhouettes

Gathering photographs and videos drawn from several series — La Suite basque, L'Épopée de Jeanne d'Arc, La Préhistoire, Souvenir d'Alsace, ATP/Les Normandes and Kalevipoeg — it looks back over more than ten years of creation and reveals a lesser-known facet of the artist's work: his work in silhouette and his exploration of the representation of historical narratives. At the heart of this ensemble, the silhouette becomes a space of projection: the photographed figures appear as familiar presences, charged with history. Charles Fréger thus questions the invention of an imagery, its transmission and the imaginaries it conveys.
