PORCELAIN FIGURES
From a height of three meters, porcelain figures are dropped on the ground and the sound they make when they hit trips the shutter release. The result: razor-sharp images of disturbing beauty - temporary sculptures made visible to the eye by high-speed photography technology.

« Nous sommes à la fois tentés par l’hominisation des animaux, qui révèle souvent nos projections fantasmatiques et par la bestialisation des hommes, autre manière pour nous de figer l’autre dans une animalité »
Antoine Spire

Cette série de peintures-photographies, essaie de donner une réponse à une forme de dualité – qui revêt ici une part animale – par le médium de la peinture qui s’ajoute, coule, masque, le portrait.
Pour au final, créer une osmose entre les deux médiums, donc entre l’animal et le portrait.

MINDAUGAS GABRENAS

MINDAUGAS GABRENAS

Mindaugas Gabrenas, born in 1977, Kaunas, is an amateur photographer currently based in Vilnius (Lithuania).

His initial encounter with photography was in late 1990, when his parents gave him a first film camera Zenit. But those days this soviet masterpiece was not so appealing and more resembled a vacuum cleaner rather than a photo camera.
Photography was really discovered in 2008, when Mindaugas Gabrenas lived in Spain. It was then when his first digital camera was acquired and great interest in digital photography was raised.

After the first personal photo exhibition ‚Fantasma‘ in 2010, Mindaugas Gabrenas has became increasingly interested in film photography. Currently he focuses on 6×6 black&white photography and works with Kiev 88, Pentacon Six, Kodak Duaflex II, Holga and homemade cameras. Landscapes, waterscapes, cityscapes, even melancholic dreamscapes – are the main fields of interest.

"My photographs are my way to show and express some of my feelings and my personal perception of what surrounds us. Having my mind, eyes and camera I am going downward the maze of visions and do not care if entering the room, where someone has just been or from which I just gone. But there’s no denying – someday I’d love to get into the room where no one has gone before.”

”These photographs, made without a camera, are sweat and heat imprints into film emulsion.”

AMY FRIEND /// DARE ALLA LUCE

"Through small deliberate interventions, I altered these vintage images, allowing light to pass through them. (After all, photographs are made possible with light.) In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Dare alla Luce, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth."
