PLANÈTE UNIVERSALITÉ - SERIE PHILOSOPHIE
Une série inspirée par les motifs de sculpture en frontons des monuments d’architecture et par le jeu de lumière qui donne vie à ces sculptures, presque d'une manière monochromatique.
Des photographies qui montrent l'humanité à la fois convergente et divergente, mais avec un esprit d'égalitarisme dans des compositions comparables à des sculptures classiques.

PLANETS UNIVERSALITY SERIES PHILOSOPHY

This series was inspired by sculpture motifs in classical architecture pediments and the play of light which gives life to these sculptures, almost in a monochromatic fashion. The exhibits demonstrate fluid humanity in both extreme convergence and divergence but there is a spirit of egalitarianism in the compositions. The style draws from Hermes's early passion for sketching and drawing and lends itself even more to this chiaroscuro interpretation. This is enhanced by the use of obsolete film transparencies, which seem "burnt" for both colour and black and white prints. The contrasting effect does not reduce the figures to a dark negative space but instead reinforces the imposing presence of inhabitants claiming their place on the planet and their natural surroundings. The choice of moments of dramatic weather conditions, whether wind or sandstorms or waves is to stress further the natural coexistence with the inhabitants in all conditions, which to an alien visiting, the planet may seem strange or inhospitable. In terms of the shapes and forms, the choice is influenced by a classical aesthetic and ancient Greek sculpture as well as impressionism and the pre-raphaelites (while true to a photo-reportage style of capturing key moments).
