Ciel variable 112 - COLLECTIONS REVISITED | Portfolios
Authors: Sylvain Campeau | Artists: Bertrand Carrière

[Summer 2019] By Sylvain Campeau [Excerpt] Bertrand Carrière has had a long relationship with the film world.

But such images must not be seen solely as the result of a professional practice that imposed frameworks and constraints on the creation of […]

[Fall 2018] By Sylvain Campeau [Excerpt] Presented in this year’s edition of the annual Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival in Toronto, this exhibition was probably the festival’s centrepiece.1 It is a collection of works that seem to emanate from two series produced by Irish photographer Richard Mosse: The Castle, from which no doubt the most important […]

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Portfolios
Authors: Sylvain Campeau | Artists: Joan Fontcuberta

[Fall 2017] By Sylvain Campeau [Excerpt] It has often seemed to me that Joan Fontcuberta’s particular aesthetic involves two complementary aspects. One aspect might bring together works such as Fauna Secreta, Sputnik, The Artist and the Photograph, and the Miracles & Co. project. In all of these series, the photographic image is presented as an […]

August 5, 2019 [originally published in CV101 in Fall 2015] — It has been a few years now since artists discovered that they could put Google Street View to artistic and critical use.
