Photo off 2013

La Bellevilloise, Paris

With this news edition, Photo Off confirm its aim: give the floor to engaged photography, representative of a sensitive and observant new generation, connected to the real. It is to learn, to discover with accuracy what’s happen, and to capture the transformation of the world. A search of the delicate and essential boundary between testimony and artistic gesture, the fair claim in this difference.

Sarah MOON, 2013 GODMOTHER
“Sarah Moon is an artist whose work speaks as much of the beauty that the disappearance, as much of the miraculous perfection of a moment, that the slow corruption of things” (PR).

Richard Ballarian is the guest of honor of the new 2013 edition of the Off Photo Bellevilloise.

Dean of the exhibition, art weaves the intergenerational link between artists. He takes this opportunity to show the Urban Man series.
American fashion photographer , he moved to Paris in the middle of the seventy years. Meeting with the City of Light is born the desire to devote himself to art photography.

"This is Paris , the city , its citizens, which has inspired me to start this work", he likes to repeat.

Whatever the format and chosen language, urbanity remain the main subject of his work. With Richard Ballarian, Paris and its inhabitants seem transposed into another reality. The characters turn into disembodied , timeless silhouettes, which evolve in a cloud city. Who is this Man Walking , who are these Students after school? Wandering souls, arms, legs, it is the public to build their history, their past, their future.

These pictures have the power to create an imaginary dialogue between viewer and artwork. The bank robbers are only men in a car. The specific work of the artist gives them an enigmatic dimension.

In this photo Urban Man series is the one that gave him the most work: “It took me ten, maybe fifteen films to succeed in this picture. I could not make one that I like. I spent several nights at Bastille photographing cars to catch the good one. In this photo, I found the light that I wanted the emotions I wanted ... car going somewhere, but we do not know where, or what they are saying and doing. They could be bank robbers.

The element of mystery is there. Or at least, I feel it. This photo illustrates the balance between spontaneity and long-term work that pace all the work in this series. The scenes are spontaneous, but shooting is not. »
