GODS FIRST by François Halard

フランス人フォトグラファー、フランソワ・アラール(François Halard)の作品集。

フランソワ・アラールによる新しい作品群において、古代の彫像、胸像、彫刻の断片といったほぼ考古学的である被写体が選ばれたのは、おそらく偶然ではないだろう。ポラロイドカメラで撮影されたこれらの写真は、額装をされ直し、拡大され、再加工され、最後に蝋を塗りつけられ、場合によっては筆で描いた文字や名前で覆われている。作者は、ポラロイド写真の過程に対する情熱を育んできた。長年に渡り、親密的かつ錬金術師のような実験を可能にしてくれるお気に入りの媒体となったようである。
―オペラ芸術監督ヴィンセント・ユゲーの序文より抜粋

It’s probably not by chance that for this new body of work, François Halard (b. 1961, French) chose exclusively ancient and almost entirely archeological subjects – statues, busts, and sculptural fragments. These were photographed with a Polaroid camera then re-framed, blown up, re-worked, and finally smeared in wax – and in some cases covered in words and names drawn with a brush. The photographer has fostered a passion for the Polaroid process; over the years it seems to have become his favorite medium, allowing him to experiment intimately and alchemically.
-Excerpt from the foreword written by opera director Vincent Huguet (b. 1976, French). Translated from French to English by Jeanne-Salomé Rochat.
