Hans-Peter Feldmann
Dazibao, centre de photographies actuelles, Montreal
For 100 Jahre, Feldmann took black-and-white photographs of his parents, friends, and acquaintances, a portrait per each age from eight weeks to 100 years old, in order to reconstruct the length of a human life, situate himself in a chronology, and address life and death.
Lucidity. Inward Views presents artists who flip the camera around toward themselves and conceive of photography as an introspective process, an opportunity for meditation, a mode of consciousness, even a means of revealing the unconscious. Their art becomes a realm where all the zones of human experience – bright, grey or dark – must be observed assiduously, appreciated, embraced. Their works thus less stand as images of lucidity than they convey a sincere desire to see clearly in the darkness.
For 100 Jahre [100 Years], Hans-Peter Feldmann took black-and-white photographs of his parents, friends, and acquaintances, a portrait per each age from eight weeks to 100 years old, in order to reconstruct the length of a human life, situate himself in a chronology, and address life and death. In the exhibition, his social circle physically surrounds us and presents a continuous cycle, “from zero to nothing,” that naturally appeals to us to situate, remember, and project ourselves, but above all challenges us to take account of the vanity of existence.
