Raphael Dallaporta

Centre national de l'audiovisuel CNA, Luxembourg

The goal of Observation is to bring the various series works by Raphaël Dallaporta into perspective - in particular, Antipersonnel, Domestic Slavery, Fragile and Ruins - by invoking resonances, juxtapositions and echoing. Raphaël Dallaporta borrows in equal measure from the practices of contemporary art and the modus operandi of documentary photography to produce works that deal with characteristic manifestations of certain features of contemporary society. Underlying each of these series is an encounter – chance or voluntary – between the artist and professionals highly involved at a practical level in the activities under consideration. Bomb disposal experts, lawyers, forensic specialists, archaeologists… all bring to Raphaël Dallaporta's projects a factual framework wherein the artist inventories, collects, questions and exchanges… in a balanced working process that subtly counterplays artistic freedom with attention to, and respect for, the related facts. The many tensions, questionings and reactions that enrich the work and its comprehension unfold in this keen rapport between the protagonists at the root of the projects, the audience to whom they are addressed and the artist's creative approach.

Exhibition produced by GwinZegal in collaboration with the CNA (Centre national de l’audiovisuel) Department of Photography.
The exhibition will be accompanied by the publication of FRAGILE, published by GwinZegal.

The exhibition is part of the MONO project. From 1st June to 2nd September 2012, 20 monographs by modern and contemporary artists will be presented across the wider region.
