LAKE A MIRROR
LAKE A MIRROR is a collection of photographs all taken from the same place, and always from the same horizon, the lake… only the moment and the framing change. They are the raw reflet of the nature, seasons, wind, clouds, sun, ...
These images are the mirror of our moods, our emotions, ... our external lights and our internal shadows. The lake, mirror of the soul and the solitude of man in the immensity.
CONCEPT
The lake as a canvas, the sun and light as paint, the wind and waves as brushes, the photographer to immortalise this painting, the artist to reflect his emotions in the mirror-like lake.
Filters and other techniques add contrast and spectacular colors to photographs. In an instant, these surreal images leap out at us... dazzling us and blinding us. Here, on the contrary, with these raw photographs you have to take the time to let your gaze plunge into the image, the mirror, the lake... and see.
COLLECTIONS
The LAKE A MIRROR collection, which began in 2017, currently consists of seven art series of 10 to 30 photographs each. The LAKE A PAINTING series of painting-like photographs, the LAKE A PANORAMIC series of panoramic photographs, and five more abstract series LAKE GOLD, LAKE SILVER, LAKE BLACK, LAKE WAVES and LAKE MATRIX.
A separate collection of around a hundred images specially selected through a competition for the iconic Hôtel Métropole in Geneva, is entitled LAKE A JET OF LIGHT.
ARTISTS
Many famous artists have contemplated Lake Geneva, and some of their quotes are humbly illustrated by photographs from the collection.
The musical atmosphere of the collection is beautifully represented by the compositions of Beau Brant, an American pianist who composed, among other pieces, "Winter at Lac Léman".
