Marie Passa
Emon Photo Gallery Tokyo and curator Caroline Trausch, in association with Sage Paris, present Wittgenstein by French photographer Marie Passa in her first exhibition in Japan and Asia. This series of works produced between 2010 to 2012, questions color, the meditation of the sensitive and the transformation of the perception of reality through the image. Here Passa photographs the interiors of modern architecture, built most often by renowned architects such as Le Corbusier and Luis Barragán. She reveals the beauty of contemporary architecture and its capacity to move us, and plays with colors as if they were musical notes. She takes us on a journey inside of buildings and the places in which we live, and offers us an unexpected view, reinvented and poetic, of the functional spaces of our communal lives that people do not look at, or through the prism of their preferences or prejudices. She escapes from the descriptive rendition and pushes the limits of the photograph. Her distinctive approach navigates delicately between photography and painting, as well as between reality and abstraction, producing a kaleidoscopic body of unique works.
The artist’s connection to architecture extends to her solo show at Emon Photo Gallery in Tokyo as the space is in the Togo building designed by Shigeru Ban, recipient of the 2014 Pritzker Prize.
