I Remember
The photographs showed in this exhibition are part of a larger project based on the limitations of the notion of framing a landscape in a rectangular shape.
"Our vision and our will to bring nature into a rectangle seemed to me sometimes derisory, binary, I had to try to account for this richness, this complexity, this addition of things that creates a whole. How?
Poetry often hides in imperfection, I had to try to meet it."
The project is also a tribute to the 24 x 36 film. To carry it out, Abergel manufactured a camera system that allows him to cover a larger surface of the film and to take different views at short intervals of time.
