Exhibition catalogue “Only Human, Short Photo Story #1” 7 April – 3 May 2013

Only Human The human figure is omnipresent in photography. It is the subject that is a mirror to the viewer. The viewer seeking recognition or acknowledgment, but often finding rejection. A confrontational approach to life in all its aspects : birth, beauty, love, murder, death. A chaotic image of life in pictures from different periods and styles: portraits, nudes and documentary. This Short Photo Story focuses on the work of the Canadian photographer Gabrielle de Montmollin. In a short series she tells a story set in an imaginary world populated by mutilated dolls, each of them metaphors for the human condition. Women en femininity play an important role in her work which in itself is very experimental and highly provocative. Vintage prints by Willy Kessels(B), Fernand Dumeunier (B), Gustave Marissiaux (B), Henri Martinie (F), Alexis Delcroix (B), Frantisek Drtikol (CZ), Gerhard Riebicke (D), Kurt Reichert (D) and unknown photographers.

Short Photo Sories Remember the photo novel? This fascinating narrative genre used to be very popular. A short story consisting of photos and text balloons (Fumetti). It is this genre that inspired us for seven short exhibitions in 2013. No classic stories but thematic exhibitions : we provide the captions, the viewer provides the text balloons. Each Short Photo Story is in itself and is not a sequel to another exhibition but together they give a very good impression of the visual expressive power of photography.

Gabrielle de Montmollin Artist Statement In my photographs I try to suggest interior states which are mirrored in conditions in the world around us. These are some elements which are central to my work: Dolls I use dolls as stand-ins for real people because of their power of allusion. From the earliest times humans have believed that souls or spirits existed in every object. From this, it was a small jump of intuition to think that if you fashioned a human-like object it could possess the soul of ancestors or beings with supernatural powers who might act on your behalf. The mystical belief in the power of effigies continues to this day. Modern dolls, made of plastic, and manufactured by the millions can cast a similar spell. It is easy to think that they possess lives of their own and are the repositories of unknown consciousness. A child playing with a doll attributes a personality to it. A child’s play is often subversive and perverse. I approach dolls in the same way. In our society these figures are loaded with meaning. Those meanings are always in the back of my mind, but the figures are also personalities who exist primarily as players in the mysteries I am exploring. Animals and Masks Animals are part of our world, we are all aware of them in different ways and yet we can never truly know what they are thinking. Animals fascinate me because their representation so easily suggests duality. Duality is unsettling, mysterious and present in all of us. The use of masks in my photographs also represents what is hidden and can never be known, and reinforces the sense of strangeness, ambivalence and latent alienation. Objects An important element of my work has been the use of discarded, thrownaway dolls and toys which I buy in thrift stores. Recently I introduced precious, valued objects to mix in with my company of throwaways. Objects have secret lives which we can only guess at and treasured things have a great power to evoke feelings beyond themselves into other worlds. My art is based on imagination; I am interested in storytelling, play and mystery. The ‘meaning’ of my images is never set, I invite viewers to discover their own narratives within each picture and those stories are just as definitive as the narratives in my mind when I am making the photographs. © Gabrielle de Montmollin, 2009

Gabrielle de Montmollin Elle était si belle # 1 2008, Canada Lambda Print 20,2 X 30,3 cm Edition of 8 prints Comment made by Gabrielle de Montmollin about this photos: “In my photographs I try to suggest interior states which can also be projected as behaviors or conditions in the world around us. In my series “Elle était si belle”, I am exploring the theme of physical beauty, and all its enthrallments and provocations. This work also raises questions regarding celebrity, voyeurism, female identity and the cult of youth.”
