Vernissage le 26.09.2019 de 18h à 21h – Opening 26th September 6-9pm
Sophie Gabrielle est une photographe et curatrice australienne originaire de Canberra et désormais basée àMelbourne. Après un diplôme à la Photography Studies College de Melbourne en 2015, elle est finaliste du Lensculture Art Awards en 2018 puis remporte le Foam Talent en 2019.
Nous avons ici décidé d’exposer non uniquement sa série la plus connue (Worry For the Fruits the Birds Won’t Eat, qui lui permit de remporter le prix Foam Talent en 2019), mais d’explorer, au-delà des sujets de chaque série, ce qui reliait ces trois projets : WIP : Weeping Rock, Worry For the Fruit the Birds Won’t Eat et BL_NK SP_CE. Ce qui ressort, c’est une commune approche de l’image narrative qui plonge le spectateur dans un univers à la fois nostalgique, mystique et noir – on se croirait presque dans un conte de Grimm.

Sophie Gabrielle is an Australian photographer and curator originally from Canberra and now based in Melbourne. After graduating from Melbourne’s Photography Studies College in 2015, she was a Lensculture Art Awards finalist in 2018, then Foam Talent winner in 2019. We have chosen to exhibit not only her best-known series, Worry For the Fruits the Birds Won’t Eat (with which she won Foam Talent), but also to explore the themes which link that series to her other two major projects, WIP: Weeping Rock and BL_NK SP_CE. What emerges is evidence of a common approach to narrative image, plunging the viewer into a universe which is at the same time nostalgic, mystical and dark – almost as if entering into a tale told by the brothers Grimm.
