In Between. Capturing the sudden moments of urban life, these photographs reveal peaceful environments disconnected from everyday life. Through the streets, we observe anonymous people in movement, in places that can be at once the origin and the result of a course.
Capturing the sudden moments of urban life: Ronan Guillou's photographs reveal
peaceful environments disconnected from everyday life. Through the streets, we
observe anonymous people in movement, in places that can be at once the origin and
the result of a course. Their glances exceed their hopes and dreams.The photographer
observes banal locations, awaiting the precise moment for a character to emerge and
fit involuntarily into a cinematic backdrop. He achieves an aesthetic without
artifice in an intact yet spontaneous balance.
Through the precision of his glance,
he exposes the force of contrasts combined with the geometry of urban cities.
Attracted by this play of form, Ronan Guillou invents a new perspective of seeing
what might seem insignificant.Sensitive and generous, the photographer collects
coincidences between place and character. "I like this situation observing urban
flow, where social and aesthetic differences live together. The city is rich with
varied atmospheres, vibrations, and enigma. It offers us situations where characters
can become unconscious actors of a sudden harmony." says Guillou.
Ronan Guillou received first prize in 2007 for his series "Passage," presented at
the Museum of Decorative Arts of Paris (France), and was nominated in January 2008
for the Fondation HSBC pour la Photographie.
