exhibition held within the framework of the InCadaques photography festival

The photographer Marguerite Bornhauser presents a selection of shots from her recent production which, through original visual associations, seem to be the starting point of an enigmatic story. These images set a backdrop where the lethargy of the summer skies, the indolent bodies and the play of light are suddenly interrupted by broken glass or a splash, all clues that something has just happened. Marguerite Bornhauser’s work mixes chance scenes and carefully constructed compositions, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. By refusing to caption her photographs and placing them in the context of her shots, the artist makes each image the source of a deliberately subjective story. His photographic language, marked by intense colours, relentless shadows and close-ups, offers a free interpretation of reality.
