ESPACE LIMINAL - Architectural Photographs by Virgile Simon Bertrand. Virgile Simon Bertrand’s large format photographs draw the viewer into the paradoxical realm of the liminal space, physical locations that can be visited, touched, pinpointed on a map or even destroyed, but which are also places of ambiguity and transition, existing at the edge of perception. Taken over a period of over three years, Bertrand’s photographs render the familiar unfamiliar using his unique perspective, reducing structures to their fundamental forms and reinterpreting those structures. Using a narrow palette of monochrome tones and colours so subtle and sparing as to be barely perceptible, Bertrand’s Liminal Spaces reveal the tenuous relationship between clarity and abstraction, encouraging ‘a floating level of perception’ within the viewer. Starting September 11, 2008 at 7pm. Exhibition continues until 30 October 2008 Locations: Librairie du Moniteur Paris Cite de l’Architecture, 1, place du Trocadro et du 11 Novembre - 75016 Paris Librarie du Moniteur Paris Odeon, 7, Place de l'Odeon - 75006 Paris Curated by DAVINA LEE WORDS FOR PICTURES www.davinalee.comNational Portrait Gallery, London
