Since it was invented, photography has evolved constantly. The portfolio presenting some of Ginette Bouchard's work published in this issue of CVphoto, as well as Carol Dallaire's in issue 32, provides me with a pretext to reflect on the orientation toward a new technology.
La défloraison voluptueuse des nouvelles images
This article was originally published only in French. No translation is available.
Au lieu de la célébration, la photographie n'offre que les fines feuilles déjà fanées de la desquamation du réel en deux dimensions. Pourtant, ils sont nombreux celles et ceux qui persistent au regard des secrets à porter toutes sortes d'objets à représenter sur cet autel imparfait.
Ginette Bouchard, On Floris Umbra
By Robert Legendre
For more than ten years, Ginette Bouchard has been exploring, within her artistic photographic research, old techniques such as platinum/palladium proofs. Curiously, the artist's attraction to old techniques has led to a profound interest in computer technologies in visual art. She takes pictures of the elements of her images using the usual photographic procedure.
Ron Levine, Ties to Down East
Looking at Ron Levine's photographs, I was reminded of a New York photographer's humorous group portraits that appeared several years ago in the magazine Photo.
Paul Lowry, Phantasma
Paul Lowry's work, from Photographs from the Grand Academy of Lagado (1989-90) through Copulation Studies (1993) to Man Figure (1995), has been inspired by various sources.
