Sinopsis
Cet ouvrage rassemble le résultat des dernières années de prises de vue du photographie Eric Antoine. Loin du bruit de la ville, cet artiste en retrait volontaire produit une oeuvre rare dont la source est à trouver dans la répétition et la quête d'une perfection - technique d'abord, formelle ensuite - plutôt que dans l'obsession de l'utilisation d'un outil et d'un procédé chimique. Il a ainsi choisi le collodion humide comme le meilleur moyen de s'installer dans la lenteur, la patience et la réflexion. Introspection portée à son paroxysme, son expérimentation cherche sans cesse à trouver l'équilibre entre la bonne lumière et le bon cadre. Recherche intime et personnelle, elle n'a de sens que parce qu'elle s'inscrit dans le quotidien de l'existence. Avec Useful Lies, son univers si expressionniste s'affirme avec encore plus de densité et de nuances. Le laborieux travail du photographe s'est attaché à pousser toujours plus loin la perfection de ses compositions, objets métaphoriques hors du temps et des lieux. On retrouve certains éléments récurrents, notamment les figures féminines, l'omniprésence de la nature, arbres, végétaux, les objets familiers du quotidien, table ou chaises en bois, nappes immaculées, assiettes, tasses, parfois brisées, ou objets anciens de décoration : tout nous lie au temps qui passe et s'évapore en même temps que les souvenirs qu'il emporte avec lui. Eric Antoine nomme ses séries : frénésie du silence, complexe de simplicité, résilience, particules, les cerveaux, drowning flowers, jusqu'à ses useful lies... Le deuil et la tristesse, la quête de l'être aimé trop tôt disparu mais que l'on ne veut jamais oublié, ont peu à peu laissé surgir, par la puissance de la création, la joie et la vie, symbolisées par la présence d'une balle de lumière, comme surnaturelle, dans les images...

Acerca del autor
Éric Antoine was born in 1974, in Audincourt, France. Before devoting himself to his art, Antoine worked as a journalist for a number of years. First, he became famous for his photographic work in the skateboard world. Since 2010, he has devoted himself to ancient photography, using the technique of wet collodion on glass. Obsessed with the passage of time and the artistic and existential quest for simplicity, he applies this ancient process of rare finesse to contemporary photography. His art is an intimate and highly personal project, one that is impossible to separate from his life. His works opened the doors of galleries and museums to him, and, in 2015, he entered the collection of the National Library of France and he self-published his first monograph "Ensemble Seul". In the US, he is represented by the Dolby Chadwick Gallery, in San Francisco.
De la contraportada
By using an older form of technology, French artist Éric Antoine strips away modern-day conceits in the quest for simplicity, solitude, and core truths. The works speak to the passage of time but also to a sense of timelessness. Useful Lies brings together several series among the last he produced. Aside from a single cardboard box in Les Intrus - a series that highlights the human body and the fragility of shelter - nothing in the photographs dates them. And yet, his framing and cropping are entirely modern, subverting any suggestion of nostalgia. These are not attempts to replicate nineteenth-century photographs but rather forays into unchartered territory that use the past to draft new stories.
The collodion process also helps visually convey the feeling of being caught between two forces: the drive toward perfection and the desire to embrace flaws. More specifically, Antoine is drawn both to German New Objectivity of the 1920s, with its rejection of Expressionism, and to the movement known as pictorialism. His medium dovetails with his interest in New Objectivity by allowing for great precision and very fine detail. At the same time, the process is highly pictorial in that the artist essentially paints the glass plate with a sensitive coating, which pools and drips and must be controlled. This tension between exactitude and imperfection opens up the works, creating scenes that are both true to nature and evocative of their own realities.
