\u00a9 Gr\u00e9goire Eloy, 2025 \/ Tendance Floue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gr\u00e9goire Eloy<\/a>, photographer and member of the Tendance Floue collective, is the second former winner of the Bourse du Talent<\/a> program, invited by PICTO for this unique encounter with the laboratory.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of an overnight stay in the lab, Gr\u00e9goire Eloy transforms the creative space into a site of nocturnal exploration<\/strong>, becoming the protagonist of an immersive artistic experiment. Using photographic equipment provided by MPB<\/a>\u2014including a Canon body and Fujifilm GF lenses\u2014he navigates the darkness of the lab, moving between shadow and light, from negative to positive, in a sensory encounter with the materials and atmospheres of the darkroom.<\/p>\n

From white to black and through to the safelight red, Eloy breathes life into the very lungs of a space where images are crafted and imaginations take form<\/strong>. Carrying a roll of silver gelatin paper on his back, the photographer wanders through the lab, integrating the paper into the setting, exposing it to flash, and then developing the images on site – only to rephotograph them until the early hours of the morning. This approach reflects Gr\u00e9goire Eloy\u2019s artistic process, which often reimagines the photographic laboratory as a space for immersive and poetic creation.<\/p>\n

In his Omalo<\/em> series, shot in Georgia, he installed silver paper directly in the nocturnal landscape, exposing it simultaneously to the light of a flash and to a digitally captured image\u2014a method that generated a dual image: a photogram developed on-site and a digital photograph, offering two interpretations of the same moment.<\/p>\n

In La Parcelle<\/em>, the photographer constructed a cabin in the forest, serving both as a residence and a darkroom, where he produced silver prints in nature using only the light of a red headlamp.<\/p>\n

For a photographer so attuned to the experiential dimension of the lab, like Gr\u00e9goire Eloy, the magic of the darkroom lies in those suspended moments when the image surfaces\u2014an intimate, tactile revelation<\/strong> linking gesture, material, and the chiaroscuro atmosphere of the photographic process.<\/p>\n
