With a selection of pristine vintage prints, Galerie Thierry Bigaignon presents an outstanding exhibit of some of Yannig Hedel's most important photographs. Relentless street walker, he has been tracking the race of time on the urban architecture for 50 years, day after day, season after seasons, and offers us an extensive and coherent lifetime body of work. Hedel plays with scales and with classic photography codes. The viewer no longer knows how far away the photographed object really is. The play of light and shadow confuses the spectator and envelops him in a prodigiously silent and dreamlike feeling.
Flirting with abstraction, his grayscale images are nevertheless very real! Whether he walks the streets of his home town or as he stares at the city from his apartment window, Yannig Hedel pursues his relentless quest and offers a never-ending enchantement.
