July analysis

This month, we invite you to discover a work from the Les Naïades series by Sébastien Gourmelen. This essay explores the multiple layers of the image: immersion in liquid matter, the play of thresholds and the dissolution of the figure, tension between light and surface, between memory and presence. Far from a simple description, the text encourages us to question the experience of looking, suspended temporality, and art’s capacity to generate new spaces of perception.

The analysis thus sheds light on the artist’s approach, one that dissolves the boundaries between body and landscape, between memory and erasure, opening photography up to a meditation on appearance and passage. To be discovered, as an invitation to continue reflecting on what contemporary imagery makes possible and embodies today.
