The Line 09 | 2016

 

Audrey Borgel started with photography very early. She photographed surroundings by doing as many portraits as she did landscapes and using film like Polaroid.
She studied photography alternately, working in a photo lab where she practiced black and white printing on an enlarger.
Still on a work-study basis 2 years later, She worked in a photo agency under the name of Rue des Archives, a French agency that works with the press, publishing, communication agencies, internet and television, among others. The origin of the agency is the photographic background of the Agip agency

She does plastic work, especially on Polaroid photos that she reworks to take them out of their usual context and present them in other forms, formats or media. She likes the reprint work on high quality paper, on which she adds for some series paint, stickers, ink or any other creative technique.
The idea is to recycle the original polaroid, to dissect it and sometimes to cut it into different pieces to take it out of its context, its usual state and present it on ever more original media. She therefore meticulously researched anything that could accompany and enrich the image.
Her research is daily, she never stops creating and feeding my subjects.
It is the poetry that characterizes her images, suspended moments that she most often immortalizes in black and white.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Il était une fois des arbres -
Once upon a time there were trees series

“I like its receding lines and graphic representation” Audrey explains. Although obviously symbolic, the tree simply attracts by its natural beauty, from the lowest part to the tops. Its forms are poetic and inspire peace and calm.  When you walk among them, you hear the 'nothing'. Each species or family has a particular shape and branch structure, the tree grows towards the light and if it can't, it will always go around in order to flourish.

La Douceur - The Tenderness series

This is a visual representation of an inanimate element. The photographs were taken during the summer, they represent the softness of light, moments of life.
It can be softness, it can be desire, it is the object; thanks to or because of its forms, its impressions or feelings can be sensitive.
Not really permanent, the object evolves over time, it has a very special relationship with its environment, with the people around it, which makes it unique. It is a poetic emotion.

Grain de Peau - Skin texture

A touch of madness, a touch of fantasy.
Discreet and soft, your velvety skin appears in the soft light.
Gently lands a kiss on your wrinkled skin.
Between laziness and tenderness. 

In your arms of silk you hold me close to you
