Shot by Cyril Teste

The journalistic image fill the news on television and paper. This redundant images, once picked up by the brain, lurks somewhere between consciousness and subconscious, between memory and experience. Their realness loses its meaning to attain a properpictorial dimension.
 
As layers laid upon by the time, the images left by the everyday life shuffle in an informational magma, that take after the notion of non-image. Everything is in it but nothing is distinguishable.
 
The collective memory, explored in its depth, swing between the swarming of composed and decomposed forms, the slow dissolution and the perceivable emergence of a form over the others. The boiling informational liquid dissolves into shapeless mental images.
 
 
Critics
« Shot clings to the anatomy and the radiography of the social body though photography, the black box of the last fifty years. Endlessly repeated, the cut and paste deflects the signals emitted by the half-length photographed presenter. A poetic scenic installation intended to disenchant of media hypnosis, to bring to life again the very last images of the history. »
