Fréquences documentaires DOCUMENTARY FREQUENCIES Format edition 22 cm × 22 cm (closed) 22 × 900 (maximum opening), 2020. Digital photo- montages on black and white silver prints on baryta paper. (1) Every places on earth has its own folklore, tales and legends. A walk can take you to unexpected places of your imagination. What you see here, is the adventures of a tv journalist from the 60’s who, through his rhythmic speech, make us see places populated by fantastic figures in a different way. The leporello print where texts and images follow one another can be fold and unfold. We see images of monsters, divinities and other spirits from our collective unconscious. They are more or less rooted in our cultures, transmitted orally or in writing. Chimeras are everywhere. In Japan, they bear the name of Yôkai and it is through the oral culture of the rural environment that they have survived in the collective memory. They are there, but we no longer take the time to see them. However, Joan Fontcurberta saw them in his Fauna series, through photographic images. He claims to have discovered them in the archives of Professor Ameisenhaufen, a German cryptozoologist specializing in the study of rare animal species, presumed extinct.
