Marc TRIVIER

Bernard Noël. Photographie Originale

Par l'auteur, s.l. 1983, 22x22cm sur papier Ilford 30x40cm, 1 planche photographique.

Large original black and white portrait of Bernard Noël.
Artists, strangers, madmen, abbatoirs, trees - Marc Trivier photographed each of his subjects with the same interrogative intensity. All his photographs are in the same square format, simple and confined, with no retouching or alteration of the framing, and seem less to show off a subject - famous or unknown, in or out of power, dead or alive - than to seek out a presence. 
"What interested me was not simply photographing a body or a face, mais cette situation particulière qui est quelqu'un en train de faire la photo de quelqu'un d'autre.» Trivier denudes the work of its effect and reveals the enigmatic nakedness of the photographic body. "In his cosmogony every thing, every being - vegetable, mineral or human - deserves the same respect. "In his cosmogony every thing, every being - vegetable, mineral or human - deserves the same respect. For all are subject to the same iron law: solitude" (Luc Desbenoit in Télérama, 05/03/2011, on the occasion of Marc Trivier's retrospective at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie).
Unsigned silver prints, like most of Trivier's work. Unique proofs printed by the artist.
An exceedingly rare diptych by one of the great contemporary photographers.
