Minot - Gormezano

For over 25 years, Minot and Gormezano have been exploring gorges, mountain streams, cliff paths, lakeshores and plateaux, forging links between the roads of reality and the thoroughfares of the imagination. It has been a long, lonely walk where the vagaries of life have led them, stopping here and there to dream in places where photography and physical experience can reveal an enigmatic presence as transient as a shadow, a vibrant reflection at the heart of the world, setting in motion a silent, shimmering dance of substance and light. Premeditated or no, the images of this shared exploration remain unpredictable; they make up a unique body of work.







The photographers' acquaintance with philosopher Robert Misrahi has underlined the freedom of their approach: using images to reflect upon the dawn of existence, when the presence of the self is revealed in the world's eye.
