Presented in Arles with the support of Nikon, the RE/construction exhibition brings together 4 artists selected from the 24 laureates awarded as part of the Carte Blanche Students program created in 2017 by Picto Foundation, Paris Photo and SNCF Gares & Connexions.
In the exhibition RE/construction, Mina Boromand, Francesca Hummler, William Lakin and Daniel Szalai play with images, fragmenting in order to reconstruct them. Far from a literal reproduction of reality, this generation has seized on photography, whether digital, contemporary, vernacular or archival, to create new narratives.
Here, the artist becomes a demiurge, destroying and reconstructing ideas and images; for Daniel Szalai, using 3D images and drawing inspiration from the technique of facial recognition dairy farms; for Mina Boromand, a personal archives that a failing visual memory prevents her from fixing them; for Francesca Hummler, photography serves as a tool for recognizing and legitimizing the singular family ties with her adopted sister, through the powerful metaphor of the home; finally, for William Lakin, it’s the codes of masculinity that are dissected, breaking down gender stereotypes around masculinity.
