David Law.
Vernissage le jeudi 19 Mars de 18h à 21h
« Mannequins... »:
David Law traque depuis plusieurs années le regard des mannequins (de vitrine) sur nos vies contemporaines. Réalisées sans superposition, ses photos jouent des reflets et des lumières pour intégrer la ville. Il cherche à percer le mystère et l’âme de ces belles esseulées, qui comme un miroir de nos propres vies, nous renvoient l’image de ce que nous sommes... La plastique idéale de ces femmes idylliques symbolise le rêve et le luxe d'un monde illusoire plus que parfait…

« Mannequins... »
For many years David Law has kept a watchful eye on store window mannequins. He studies these solitary beauties as a reflection of contemporary life. Through his photos David Law seeks to unravel the mystery of these prototypical women's souls, as they provide him with a mirror of our existence. They cast out an image of our perserverence to engage in an idealology of perfection. For Law, mannequins symbolize illusion, the dream of luxury and the unattainability of a flawless world. As he captures his images, he engages the natural echo of light rebounding from the store windows, providing a projection of city images, and our reality, superimposed upon the ideal.
