How to print images if there is no light? What are we looking at when black is the imprint of space? Its images are from photographical experimentation. It’s a research on the limits of visibility. I wanted to paint with chemistry. To question the perception of reality by diverting the photographic medium. Imagine what we could see at the border of light. Look at the sensitive material in the raw state. I don’t want to do photography, but images with photography. I let chance, magic, and the sun meet on my sheets to invent images.
Amandine Freyd was born in the south of France in 1985. After studying graphic arts, she left for Montreal where she took her first steps in the dark room. She finished studying photography with a Masters in Paris. Her practice revolves around several axes: snapshot with still lives, landscapes; collection: she collects archive images and anonymous photographs; and old techniques such as cyanotype and lumen print. Her work is found in collaborations with fanzines and publications in magazines. The Incident publishing house published 2 collections of her photographs in 2012. In the summer of 2015, she did a residency at Galerie Simple in Paris followed by an exhibition. After several participations in collective exhibitions, she presents her collection of anonymous photographs at the PhotoSaintGermain festival in 2018.
