Galerie SIT DOWN
Jean-Michel André , France
"Chambre 207"
With Chambre 207, Jean-Michel André pursues a photographic approach that blends politics and poetry, questioning borders, memory and territorial mutations. This project explores universal themes that run through all his work, such as absence, lack and the quest for reparation. Inscribed in an autofictional vein, this work is based on a reinvented memory, born of a profound childhood trauma.
This exhibition, co-produced by the Institut pour la photographie and the Centre Méditerranéen de la photographie, is based on the power of symbol, allowing the artist to recount with modesty the tragic event that turned her life upside down.
Solo show of Jean-Michel André
