Eden / Clark & Pougnaud
07 June - 06 July 2019
Already exhibited during the 2nd edition of PhotoBrussels Festival at Hangar, the duo Clark & Pougnaud was back in Brussels with a brand new series, Eden.
This time, they decided to explore the theme of still life in their images. With a lot of poetry, Pougnaud creates the sets and the staging, Clark shoots the photographs. For Eden, they decided to work on several media. The entire series is the subject of pigment prints on Hannemülhe paper, and some of the photographs are printed on a precious paper Moulin du Vergé. This exhibition announced the theme of the 4th edition of PhotoBrussels Festival: Still Life.
“A season in paradise. Stage an imaginary garden in front of a painted canvas. Paint then photograph from morning to night, as long as the light enters the studio. Roll the canvas when it has been photographed and stretch another one. Look in the vegetable garden, on the paths, in the bushes, shapes, and colors so beautiful that we bring them back to the workshop. Catch some insects, take from nature small pieces of beautiful lives. Paint and photograph every day until the October frosts in the large open space of an ephemeral photo studio.” - Clark & Pougnaud, 2018.
