"Tant que notre heure durera" is an exhibition of some of the photographs Pascal Amoyel takes on a daily basis. In them he seeks a response to his self-interrogation of how to be in the world through photography, reflecting on the distance to take from others and things, from everything that falls under his gaze. Perhaps, as Michelangelo Antonioni has suggested, seeking what to regard and discovering how to live are one and the same.
Just the opposite of a traditional diary (in which the images retranscribe a story already lived), Amoyel's work is an act of creation in itself, which transforms his photographs into a possible personal trajectory. How to be a father and a son? how to be a brother? Amoyel writes the story of his family and sketches out his place in it implicitly, as a shuttle, between his parents and sons. The figure of a passageway is central in his work : between generations, places, and people. To be such a go-between figure is to inhabit his name, Pascal, which comes from Pessah, the commemoration of a passage, and of freedom.
Chers amis, je serais ravi de vous retrouver au vernissage de mon exposition "Tant que notre heure durera", à la galerie Madé (Paris 6e), mercredi prochain 19 mai, de 16h à 20h.
