Hélène Hubert

Photographer

The common – or better said, golden - thread of Hélène Hubert’s photographic work is the energy that animates still lives. She captures singular light impressions which disclose this blurred zone between the object, its reflection and what it represents. The artist searches all the spaces in which the objective reality reveals a secret which might not appear at first sight. Above all, it is the vibration fields of an object and / or a situation that invites the photographer to trigger her artistic sense through a lightning flash, an impulse or an emotion.

Tuned up to this frequency in her now virtual darkroom, Hélène Hubert dusts her photographic file with the tip of her stylus bringing out the infinitely small, the infinitely visible, “the one visible “- literally - « l’un visible » as defined by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan on the existence of three levels, the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary. 

Her images, reveal the evanescent manifestations of the internal reality of her subjects, focusing to render this perceptive intensity, all connected within the same material: life.

My Blues 2020

The "My Blues 2020" series emerged bright and blue from the depths of confinement. My innocent childhood flashes through my dancing tutu, immersed in a sunny swimming pool. The predominance of blue and the deliberate absence of black underline the potential for peace at the center of life's constant movement.

When visiting deserted places, I stage life in abandonment. Spaces have been changed over time and emptiness is just an illusion. Each component or geometry has a unique meaning that resonates with its history.

Flayed and uprooted trees, the snow visually heals Nature’s scars. New realities of an instant, transparency becomes visible, the intangible becomes palpable matter. A sort of enchantment catches the senses.
