Arnaud Rinuccini

Photographer

Arnaud Rinuccini's photographic work focuses on the definition of memories, as the artist wonders about the things we keep and the things we forget, the things that are altered or transformed when we are reminded of an event.

Arnaud Rinuccini stands out with his photographic works of landscapes starting with fragments of reality recomposed into a whole. 

The resulting image combines moments, superimposes sensations, points out mistakes, shifts, inversions, that reconstitute our memories and stimulate our imagination.

Both contemplative and poetic, Arnaud Rinuccini's images emphasize his taste for natural spaces.

Parallels

I'm revisiting a place radically changed by the Fire that destroyed it, and I'm projecting onto it what it used to be. It's a landscape that has flipped into its photographic negative, in a strange metamorphosis. Like two parallel worlds, these photographs highlight the resonances between the two states. The interwoven fragments create a new fictional space, with its own perspective and its own rules, revealing all the more the transformations of a world undergoing profound changes. Mount Saint-Michel, in the heart of Brittany's Monts d'Arrée, suffered a massive fire in the summer of 2022 that destroyed the moorland and  by chance spared the chapel on its summit. With the financial support of François Pinault's Artemis Foundation, the entire site was restored by the Department of Finistère.

And the Sea will be there

The sea is a powerful source of memories and provides a wealth of sensations to bring them back to the surface. When I am facing the sea, I go to a place where memory emerges and I meet a horizon whose limit is elusive. Every shoreline in this series is an uncertain seascape from land to sea, sceneries in motion. Each work appears fragmented by means of overlays of the same location. I match different views, different timeframes at the same level to reveal before my eyes a recomposed landscape. Geometric shapes find their own position in the scenery and are used as passages across the different appearances.

Mirages

Mirages shake up our perception of reality, question the limits between our memories and our imagination. My work with multiple superimpositions acts as a prism through which I recompose a landscape.
