Short and concise, a haiku invites reflection, imagination, a transport of the mind… A haiku evokes, suggests, invites contemplation and meditation. Through its simplicity, it awakens our imagination, multiplying it like a guide that is at once learned, secret and delicate…
Fascinated by this haiku written in 1925, we wanted to show how our imagination and sensibility as 21st-century Westerners can be seduced and inspired by that of a nearly century-old Japanese poetry… Visual metaphors that are by no means attempts at translation but rather transgressions, inspirations, breaths.
Nicolas Claris — Romain Claris
May 2019
When I discovered the work of Nicolas Claris and Romain Claris, I was immediately struck by the poetic power of both practices, the "just" seeing. Both coming from the world of communication, the aesthetic is polished, the contours are sharp, the form refined. Then comes the flaw, the fold, which brings us back to this trivial, almost wild reality.
"Un ciel dans une fleur sauvage" is composed of two series never before shown in a Bordeaux gallery, an exhibition dedicated to the work of the two artists, the selection of which was an obvious choice.
These two series converse in dialogue, "A hint of red, though" and "On The Rocks" (unpublished), synthesise this intrinsic opposition between the two practices, that of photography and video, to become one and thus summon two visions that speak in unison, between clarity and depth, nobility and humility.
In tandem, the beauty frozen by Nicolas Claris's photographic lens comes to life when Romain Claris takes over with his camera.
These two gazes cross, intertwine, mingle and interlock in echo… thus they manage, by a feat of strength, to capture in the immediacy of a fleeting beauty a light, a moment magnified by a dazzling splendour through the prisms of the two accomplices.
