Description

INSIDE VIEWS is a monograph that traces the reflection that photographer Floriane de Lassรฉe has made on the city as we know it today: disproportionate, vertical, it is that of the megalopolis where the individual has been slowly caught up. Through her images of a fantasized city, Floriane de Lassรฉe does not make any inventory. But constructs her own aesthetic of the city, a falsely neutral point of view, marked by a visual game with several planes, by the preponderant role of color, the geometrization of facades, by the choice of perspectives and daring frames. The city becomes a field of experimentation that she transforms into a reservoir of signs by the choice of a specific device. "The city as a privileged photographic territory appears from the birth of photography (even if the first image, that of Niepce, is rural)," recalls Gilles Mora. "From then on, the medium never ceases to accompany and document the city and its transformations, the events that punctuate its existence, the monuments, and more rarely the banality of its daily life or its spaces without qualities," adds Thierry Bonzon. Floriane de Lassรฉe, as an attentive observer of the world and social relationships, brings her stone to the fascinating edifice of urban photography, which is only a confrontation of the medium with reality. As for any artist, it is always and still a question of "coinciding with the contemporary world and integrating it into art (...) and inventing absolutely new forms of expression". Here, each "view", like a Hopper painting, is a story in itself where one can project oneself until the night fades and the lights disappear.
