http://www.audic-rizk.comThis exhibition of artists photographers Julie Audic and Christian Rizk is devoted to Olympic sports. Entitled body without faces, this exhibition highlights unique to Audic Rizk photographs where, contrary to documentary, the synonymous faces of individuality disappear in favour of a universal figure.
Without editing or match-fixing, the photographic technique of artists Audic Rizk is based on a long shutter time and a reverse chroma (direct draw the negative without going through the positive development). The long shutter time allows to record the movements and events-specific dynamics and mix their colors like a painter on his palette. Excluding any retouching, filter or manipulation by computer, what we see is the strict reality. This choice to show the complementary colors of the negative avoids any form of immediate recognition of places or events. In these photographs of sport we no longer recognize the athlete by its facies, its origin, its reputation or its sponsor. Who could say the name of this athlete? All became anonymous figures, the competition has no reason to be, sport is present in its most universal form, far from any consideration objective and individualistic.
Audic Rizk photographs relate to the limits of photographic abstraction and seem to mutate into painting.
