BENJAMIN BRUNEAU


Sans Titre

The painting of Benjamin Bruneau operates within the limits of a glance. From a solid object to it's abstraction, it plays with the materials, predisposed, to form a barricade indefinitely extending in perspective.

GAIA FUGAZZA

Evénement Ponctuelles

Evénement Ponctuelles, Paris 2008 (Gaia Fugazza), is a series of colour photographs taken during an international arms fair. The investors and the soldiers presents are stand in contrast with the military equipment. The images of this event are built by the protagonists who are occupied in creating for this fair a context for their products.

Pax Americana

The black and white, classic format of American documentary photography is deployed to create the mises en scenes orchestrated by the artist.
Portraits of a paranoid America geting ready or preparing for an unknown and unamed catastrophe.

FANI ZGURO

U-Turn

In Fani Zguro's U-Turn, the landscape of the countryside is the background for a boy with a cowboy hat. Ten years later, during a new meeting, in a border village between Greece and Albania where the artist and the protagonist grow up together, an interview takes place. It uses the same lines of dialogue from Oliver Stone’s film.
