Sally Mann. Mille et un passages
du 18 juin au 22 septembre 2019
Jeu de Paume, Paris

"Depuis plus de quarante ans, Sally Mann (née en 1951) réalise des photographies expérimentales à la beauté obsédante qui explorent les thèmes essentiels de l’existence : mémoire, désir, mort, liens familiaux, magistrale indifférence de la nature envers les hommes. L’unité de ce vaste corpus – portraits, natures mortes, paysages et études diverses –, repose sur l'évocation d’un lieu, le Sud des États-Unis."
(Texte extrait du site du Jeu de Paume)

Le sac à dos est Suédois, la porteuse peut-être bien aussi :-))

 

 One of the things my career as an artist might say to young artists is: The things that are close
to you are the things you can photograph the best. And unless you photograph what you love,
you are not going to make good art.

(Sally Mann)

Photographs open doors into the past but they also allow a look into the future.

It’s always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary…it never
occurred to me to leave home to make art.

What is truth in photography? It can be told in a hundred different ways. Every thirtieth
of a second when the shutter snaps, its capturing a different piece of information.

Une "Huloterie" désormais classique dans les musées ... :-)

 

All the good pictures that came so easily now make the next set of pictures virtually impossible
in your mind.

Some of my pictures are poem-like in the sense that they are very condensed, haiku-like.
There are others that, if they were poetry, would be more like Ezra Pound. There is a lot of
information in most of my pictures, but not the kind of information you see in documentary
photography. There is emotional information in my photographs..

Like all photographers, I depend on serendipity… I pray for what might be referred to as
the angel of chance.

I like to make people a little uncomfortable. It encourages them to examine who they are
and why they think the way they do.

(Sally Mann)

Sometimes, when I get a good picture, it feels like I have taken another nervous step into
increasingly rarified air. Each good-news picture, no matter how hard-earned, allows me only
a crumbling foothold on this steepening climb -an ascent whose milestones are fear and doubt.

(Sally Mann)
