Floriane de Lassée

  • by Photographie: Floriane de Lassée. Christian Caujolle (préface), Tatyana Franck (postface)
For ten years now, photographer Floriane de Lassée has been building a series in which vast cityscapes and the intimate lives of the people who inhabit them are brought together in provocative fusion. This work started from her own experience, when she was new to NYC and didn't know many people Inside Views takes us from the collective to the intimate, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small: at first glance, sweeping urban landscapes bring us up against the impersonal face of the big city.

Description

For ten years now, photographer Floriane de Lassée has been building a series in which vast cityscapes and the intimate lives of the people who inhabit them are brought together in provocative fusion. This work started from her own experience, when she was new to NYC and didn't know many people Inside Views takes us from the collective to the intimate, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small: at first glance, sweeping urban landscapes bring us up against the impersonal face of the big city. But a closer look reveals the presence of residents, caught unawares as they move within the privacy of their intimate spaces.
With sophisticated stagings, Floriane de Lassée continued to explore the contradictions of our contemporary lives, more and more urban, between the need to be one with the city and the dehumanization of a solitary anonymity, sometimes chosen, often imposed


Si la ville, dehors, est foisonnante, véritable fourmilière à ciel ouvert, comment dire le vide, le silence, la solitude de ces vies cachées, dedans, derrière ces façades-miroirs ? Comment montrer cette tension palpable entre le mouvement perpétuel des mégalopoles du 21ème siècle et la sidération des particules élémentaires dont il semble se jouer, quand chacun est rentré chez soi, à l’abri des regards, si ce n’est celui, discret, d’une photographe aux aguets ?

Avec des mises en scène sophistiquées, Floriane de Lassée a continué d’explorer les contradictions de nos vies contemporaines, de plus en plus citadines, entre besoin de faire corps avec la ville et déshumanisation d’un anonymat solitaire, parfois choisi, souvent imposé.

INSIDE VIEWS est une monographie qui retrace la réflexion que la photographe Floriane de Lassée a menée sur la ville telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui : démesurée, verticale, elle est celle des mégalopoles où l'individu s'est fait lentement happer.
Au travers de ses images d'une ville fantasmée, Floriane de Lassée ne fait aucun inventaire mais construit sa propre esthétique de la ville, point de vue faussement neutre, marquée par un jeu visuel à plusieurs plans, par le rôle prépondérant de la couleur, la géométrisation des façades, par le choix de perspectives et de cadres audacieux. La ville devient un terrain d'expérimentation qu'elle transforme en réservoir de signes par le choix d'un dispositif spécifique.
