copy of Lionel Sabatté / Poussière des cimes

With his poussièrographies, photographic editions revealed through dust, Lionel Sabatté conjures up new images of undergrowth, punctuated by trunks and the complex thicket of the canopy and undergrowth. Through his committed gesture of revelation using dust and gold pigments, Lionel Sabatté questions the mysterious element that surrounds every photographic representation. At once an explicit image of a factual place and a surface streaked with matter or luminous colours, these creations, published in editions of 5, ultimately question the very essence of painting.
