Description
From January 30 to March 1, 2025, Galerie XII is pleased to present the photographic work of the artist Nicolas Baghir, through his exhibition "Images-mémoires".
"Charred landscapes, emerging forms, reflected, troubled, almost drowned figures:
in Nicolas Baghir, reality seems to be absent from the image to better reveal
what haunts it: ghosts, destruction, spirits. A persistent mist, a
low light or a trembling reflection capture a firefly movement:
appearance - disappearance, appearance - disappearance. The artist deliberately places himself far from the
realism to which photography is often reduced. He makes it an art of illusion to
better reach gaps, a strangeness, cracks: by entering these
interstices between two worlds, we access reality, its wound, its
beauty in a different way.
