Ocean of Images

by Raphaële Bidault-Waddington, produced by 1703
2023

This silent and meditative video loop echoes the overflow of information, sometimes called data-deluge. Produced from vast banks of photographic images collected by the artist, it gives, in a suspended moment and experience, a sense of a world or a city immersed in a sea of information where reminiscences of the past seem to resurface... Unless it is the slow drowning of our urban modernity...

Produced from still images, the artist pursues her research of architecture of images that have become here fluid, floating and evanescent.

Press-release extract by curator Clara Ruestshmann:

“Over decades of urban perambulation and photography, RBW has established a unique practice of image collection that serves as a vast dataset to create photomontages.  Here, images are assembled, composed and intricated with one another.  If individually each image belongs to specific sites, together they generate a new space. By decontextualizing the image, the question is not to know where each image has been taken, but what kind of other referential reality is thus generated.“

“The artist’s photo-montages oscillate between the real and the fake, according to the placement, distortion, and manipulation she processes on images: real and fake spaces, real and fake stories entangle to become one. In fact, is the digital world where these images transit and exist, less real than the material world that they come from?”
