About the exhibition – Emotional Abstractions by Lorraine Thiria

Photography has a force that alters perceptions and relationship to time, creating sensitive connections and vital emotions. It has the power to anchor sensations, a musicality, vibrations, a space where sounds and dreams vibrate. It is an imprint that shifts the gaze, what Leonard Cohen called the «crack that lets the light in».

Inspired with this insight I use my photography of «matter», essentially wall matter, to experience this crack, this passage, in a lively and enchanted way. The walls are for me the materialization of a sensitive body in permanent apprehension. Their material is the crack that lets the light in ; it enchants our world by revealing the imprints of time and its memories, and by creating a link between past and present, visible and invisible, presence and absence.

By capturing a mural detail, a line, an asperity, a trace, a furrow, a wound, my photographs allow us to extract ourselves from reality, to lose all spatial and temporal reference points and melt into abstraction. They aim to paint a fertile abstraction, to create sensations and emotions, and to liberate the imagination so as to feel alive and connect us all, collectively.
