Description from the seller
Bruno FERT (Born in 1971)
The Absents, Sûbâ 31°47’5 N 35°7’26 E - 07.1948,
The Absents, 2016
Fine Art print on Hahnemühle Ultrasmooth paper, title and date inscribed, signed in pencil in the margin
32 x 25.5 cm (40 x 50 cm)
In 1948, the creation of the Hebrew state triggered the first Arab-Israeli war and
the exodus of more than 700,000 Palestinians to neighboring countries. What remains today of their towns and villages emptied of their inhabitants? It is to answer this question that I went to Israel: to locate and photograph the vestiges of these vanished ghost towns swept away in the turmoil of the 1948 war. This report is a journey through time; a visual odyssey to the origins of the refugee question. These images bear witness to a pivotal moment in the history of the region whose consequences are today at the heart of current events.
Bruno Fert — Documentary photographer
Bruno Fert develops a deeply humanist body of work devoted to exile, to migrations and to the traversed territories. From disappeared Palestinian villages to the precarious shelters of migrants, he photographs less the event than its traces. With Passages, he continues this work along the roads of exile, revealing in the landscapes the marks left by those who strive to reach Europe. A precise and silent photograph, where the landscape becomes a bearer of memory.
Seller's Story
THE TAYLOR GALLERY WORKSHOP
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor, located at 7, on the eponymous street in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, is a friendly place dedicated to photography. It was created thanks to image enthusiasts, José Nicolas, photographer and manager of the place with the support of Jean Vinégla.
Located a stone's throw from Place de la République, between rue du Château-d'eau and rue René-Boulanger, the place is dynamic, atypical and warm, resolutely turned towards sharing and mutual discovery of images at the 'international.
The Atelier / Galerie Taylor is familiarly inclined to exhibit film photography while remaining open to the wide range of contemporary imaging techniques.
It presents well-known and emerging photographers, with the aim of always surprising and arousing the curiosity of collectors and visitors.
Since its opening in September 2019, the Atelier / Galerie Taylor has carved out a good reputation, going from being a confidential place to a showroom recognized by professionals and collectors, both for the choice of its programming and for the quality of the prints on display.
