Four photographers, Céline Clanet, François Deladerrière, Géraldine Lay and Geoffroy Mathieu, with a text by Michel Poivert, chose to bring their work together after observing not a community of gaze or theme but a common distance and acuity with which each of them apprehends the world. Un mince vernis de réalité was built simultaneously with the emergence of a new French photography in recent years. The wish of these four photographers to present their work together expresses, in a transversal way, the questioning of young authors across a whole field of contemporary photography. A deep silence reigns in these photographs, in which one ends up distinguishing densities, intensities. It is probably we who then come into resonance with this silence.
