Barbara Ryckewaert

Galerie Yukiko Kawase (new space), Paris

For her debut exhibition at Galerie Yukiko Kawase, Barbara Ryckewaert presents “From Here to Beyond (de l’ici vers l’ailleurs)”, an exhibition of photographs examining the way in which the perception of the particular scene shifts towards an illusion, or a fanciful and mental content.

Ryckerwaert’s photography navigates a territory between imaginary and experience, strange and familiar. Either taken in San Francisco, San Sebastian, Paris, Basque Country, or in French Guiana, the landscapes look as unreal as unfoundable.

Strangely familiar while remaining mysterious and somewhat indecipherable, those pictures are sort of doorways to evacuate, passages for transformation. Such as a ship leaving a port towards “beyond”, the viewers’ attention is carried away from physical dimension to spirit; the association called in Japanese “mitate” = “instituting (tate) by seeing (mi)”. Related to the principle of metaphor or mimesis, it’s a way to construct the inner space where live together the nature and the artificial without antinomy.

Born 1984 in Paris, lives and works in Paris, Barbara Ryckewaert is a recent graduate of Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Her graduation thesis “Werner Herzog, le geste en suspens” is awarded with distinction. She was among the selections of the 55th salon d’art contemporain de Montrouge.
