Close – Disclose (expo solo)

Galerie Rotunda, Bangkok

 

 

 

“Close-Disclose” is the title of Belgian photographer Juliette de Salle’s second exhibition in Thailand and her first solo exhibition in Bangkok. The work displayed in this show is inspired by a quote from the French novelist Guy de Maupassant: “…In everything, there is some unexplored because we are used to look with our eyes only with the memory of what somebody else thought before us…”

 

Juliette de Salle looks for the unexplored all around her, often no further than her home or a few meters away: a plastic bag, a feather or a cigarette butt. Her pictures manage to capture the unrevealed, the detail and fragility of what we have under our eyes for an instant but often fail to see. Taken very close to the subjects, her photos have a semi-abstract feel by capturing the unusual lines, light and surfaces. They disclose a space to explore and a unique atmosphere to feel.

 

Juliette says: “…The light of Thailand is very significant for me. Especially the evening light, which gives wonderful colours to the subjects. Even if the subjects are very common and not always recognizable, it's important for me that they are ‘products from Thailand’ (e.g. flowers, fruits, and insects). I don't pretend to show Thailand but I hope you can feel its influence in my photographs…”
