Photographs by artist Amélie Landry (b. 1981) are on display at Galerie VU’, Paris, through an exhibition titled “Les chemins égarés” or The Lost Paths through February 18, 2017.The landscapes photographed by Amélie Landry offer themselves as surroundings. A nature that seems to have gained the upper hand over a distorted or refuted civilization recalled by a blockhouse, a hydroelectric power station, a steel factory or a water reservoir. Irritated by nocturnal light sources or taken in a blind sun, these surroundings shelter troubling bodies. Evanescent, naked, livid skin, immutably isolated, they arrive like oscillatory beings or spirits in these sceneries strewn with disturbing traces of other things, signs of fiction. Handkerchiefs, crushed herbs, wildly carved paths, a word left on a windscreen ... These surroundings are places of drag between men that the photographer has sought, learned to read, to recognize, for several years.The exhibition is at Galerie VU', 58 Rue Saint-Lazare, 75009 Paris.
