View of the installation in the exhibition space of the International Artists’ House Villa Concordia, Bamberg.

This photo sculpture was created for the exhibition space of the Internationales Künstlerhaus villa Concordia. It is a continuation of the work on church glass done in Marseille.

Different perspectives of the space were captured at different times of the day. The printing of the photographic negative in shades of grey underlines the evolution of the shadows. The relief print loses its intensity as the visitor progresses. The architecture fades away in favour of the real nature that penetrates the work. The initial photograph is of a vandalised Marseilles shop front, worked before printing to echo the church glass from which the glass comes. The vision alternates between interior mise en abyme and architectural perspectives in favour of the exterior environment.
