LES MESSAGES CACHéS DE l’EAU
In ‘The Hidden Messages of Water,’ through a study of reflection, Frédéric Bourret offers a reflection on the subjectivity of perception: Can the gaze we cast upon a subject we encounter for the first time be truly impartial? Is our perception not systematically influenced by our experiences, our belonging to a group, our culture? Frédéric Bourret seeks to demonstrate this by setting a trap for perception. It closes through the repetition of the same subject at different times of the day: the more the subject repeats, the greater the certainty of what we see. Indeed, what kind of reflection is it, exactly? What is the reflecting surface? Is it really water? Or is it glass? And why not a facade? And isn’t this reflection ultimately just an optical illusion, the result of a counter-angle effect? Is the artist not showing, in turn, through different color harmonies, the cathedrals of the 21st century? Winner of the ‘Coup de Coeur’ award at the Talent Grant. »
