VARIATIONS SUR L’EXTASE
2011
3 photographs.
Limited Edition of 6 + 1 AP
Size : 42 x 59.4 cm & 80 x 120 cm
Printed on Canson Arches Velin Museum Rag paper
The photos presented in this series were taken at the Rodin
Museum in Paris of a sculpture named “La Martyre,” 1899.
Lying flat on her back, in an ambiguous attitude of agony or bliss,
arms spread and head falling backwards, she follows in a tradition
going back to antiquity of the representation of characters suffering
violent deaths.
The photo concentrates on the polyphonic language of the body’s
contortions. The instant is like the suspension of the soul during
the sufferings of ecstasy, or the sublimation of desire.
Resonating with the erotic drawings of Rodin, the moving shape
oscillates between these points of view: the body climaxing or
the soul expiring.
