GROUP EXHIBITION
Genevieve Biwer, Carine and Elisabeth Krecké, Roger Wagner, Vera Weisgerber
In parallel is held with the gallery a second exposure of the artists Genevieve Biwer, Carine and Elisabeth Krecké, Roger Wagner and Vera Weisgerber, realized within the framework of the Month European of Photography in Luxembourg which associates 6 other European capitals and their institutions which devote themselves to contemporary photography.
Genevieve Biwer
Born in 1958 in Vannes, Brittany. Lives and works in Basbellain (Luxembourg).
In her recent work - blue Series exposed to the gallery -, Genevieve Biwer returns so that it is advisable to call
photo-photo, differently than ten years ago. All its assets of the period of the superpositions, this knowledge of the "double" image are well there, constantly, but this time without the turning of the unfolding by average the techniques, in an immediate way: the world is multiple, permanently and in fact. Transitory happinesses, hopes and anguishes, dead dream and reality, life and are translated in its works.
Carine and Elisabeth Krecké
Twin sisters, born on May 13, 1965 in Luxembourg.
Live and work in Luxembourg and Lille (France).
Realize the majority of their projects (artistic and scientific) together.
The work of the Krecké sisters subjects, in a gesture of pastiche in love, by no means vindicatory, the resemblance with the semblance.
Similar step (...) joins together in and by their variation reality and the illusion. With this characteristic which reality is already an image: these spectral faces with the a little worrying beauty, semi-hallucinated, belong neither to the world perceived nor even with a film or a particular type of cinema; they are frames of an unspecified film. We are sensitive to the veracity which accompanies this attractive simulation, and however we do not feel not held to recognize the figure, the framework, situation etc. Ambiguous, androgynes, rocks about it between the extreme, rough emotion and most subtle of the feelings able to model a mouth, the faces of Carine and Elisabeth Krecké end up resembling so that they seem. They do not represent faces of (or with) cinema, they represent the cinema like such - or rather the photographic one that there is in the cinema, and, beyond, the photographic one which, like had seen it Walter Benjamin, exists from now on in any art, including in the drawing; and that this last, owner of arts as wanted Vasari, turns over pleasantly, not not against but towards photography.

Roger Wagner
Born in 1962 in Dudelange (Luxembourg). Lives and works in Luxembourg and Brussels.
In the line line of the glance objectivist of the new German photography, the photographs of Roger Wagner dissect our environment with a frightening precision. To the mounting of the unimportant details, they give to see a reality relentless, sometimes concealing an unsuspected poetry, sometimes the evidence of a vertiginous alienation. For its series ambiguously entitled Commonplaces, Wagner directed its objective on buildings with the doubtful reputation, of which a bar of night and a shooting range (...) Shooting Range - I shows the very calculated coldness of the architecture of a shooting range. While returning account of distinct esthetics, the placid recordings of Roger Wagner let foresee an aspect common to the various places, which is that of a functionality to any test.
Boris Kremer, 2006
Vera Weisgerber
Born in 1971 in Pétange (Luxembourg). Lives and works in Luxembourg.
Vera Weisgerber pushes here to the extreme the use of the photographic stereotype while tallying in the immateriality of the sky. It solidifies the clouds, body without surface not being let describe, nor to bring back to coordinated of a play of assembly which would retain objects only the clearly outlined profile under which an observer placed in a given point apprehends.
The classification and the meticulous observation of the material collected make it possible Vera Weisgerber to unify the instantaneous sights in a composed image, giving access to a daydream on the movement. The unfolding of the components and association of their variable states apart from the temporal constraints and of reports/ratios of scale, lead to an existing sun multitude.
This assembly, to the first poetic access, returns to the painting and the history of art and gleams, as often works of Vera Weisgerber, thousand and one do it traces of the multitudes of the existence.
