WHEN BLACK IS BURNED
Published by Simple Editions, 2023

We are delighted to welcome Marguerite Bornhauser for the launch of her new book When Black is Burned .

When black is burned is a series somewhere between reality and fiction, poetry and everyday life, that plays with the codes of abstraction and photographic figuration to plunge us into a chiaroscuro universe, brightly colored and populated by shadows, ghosts and daydreams. This work is made up of dense light and materials where shadows create landscapes and motifs. The burnt black of the shadows resonates with the intensity of the colors and the sensuality of the bodies. In this series, we present, for the first time, reworked negative photographs - painted or colored - alongside silver and digital photographs of all kinds. The book is accompanied by an original text by Damarice Amao, an art historian currently working at the Center Pompidou-Paris.

We are pleased to welcome Marguerite Bornhauser for the launch of her new book When Black is Burned.

When black is burned is a series between reality and fiction, poetry and everyday life, which plays with the codes of abstraction and photographic figuration to immerse us in a chiaroscuro universe, with bright colors, populated by shadows, ghosts and daydreams. This work is made of light and dense materials where shadows create landscapes and patterns. The burnt black of the shadows resonates with the intensity of the colors and the sensuality of the bodies. In this series, we present for the first time reworked negative photographs - painted or colored - alongside silver and digital photographs of all kinds. The book is accompanied by an original text by Damarice Amao, an art historian currently working at the Centre Pompidou-Paris.
