Constance Nouvel

Réversible is the third part of Constance Nouvel’s project. The first part, Atlante, was unveiled at In Situ – fabienne leclerc gallery in Paris and this was followed by Solstice, which was presented at the Le Point du Jour art centre in Cherbourg.

The project takes the form of an enigma: a path that visitors are invited to follow to discover the surface of images, experimentations with simulacrums and the mise en abyme of the photographic medium itself.

Constance Nouvel sees the exhibition space as a place of experimentation, like a board for playing a game, a place that provides spatiotemporal bridges between different locations. She makes use of the exhibition space as part of an attempt to deconstruct-reconstruct representations and play with the notion of décor, setting out to question the mechanisms by which our eyes and our thoughts assimilate reality, like the nature and the potential of the photographic image.

Photography, drawing and installation set the tempo of Constance Nouvel’s proposition that opens a new path of exploration of space and reality, of their physical and mental representations, as well as the capacity of different mediums to create illusion and renew our perception.

A monograph will be published in conclusion to this cycle of exhibitions and will comprise its final chapter.
