Every cloud has a silver lining as the saying goes, and perhaps the only silver lining of this pandemic has been mankind’s flight into nature. Where human contact has been removed and forbidden, most of us have found solace in long walks in the woodlands and landscapes around us; much of which had gone unnoticed for years. As “pandemic individuals” we are not alone in this awakening, many have sought inspiration in this way for years. Now we have the opportunity to explore the artist Daphné Le Sergent’s collection Silver Memories, this work is based on the theme "Rethinking Nature / Rethinking Landscape".
From the 3rd of April until the 6th of June, Casino Contemporary Art Gallery on Rue Notre Dame, Luxembourg presents the work of Daphné Le Sergent as part of the 8th edition of European Month of Photography. Le Sergent was born in 1975, and is a French artist of Korean origin. The exhibition Silver Memories, presents a collection of landscapes combining photography, drawing and video.
By assuming that the ore of silver is becoming scarce, the artist constructs a hybrid artistic narrative where film photography is at the center of the questioning of artistic, economic and ecological issues. Her multimedia proposal - a video projection, on the one hand, and an installation composed of photographs and photographic drawings created especially for the Casino Luxembourg space, on the other - shows in a sensitive way the production chain of photography and its impact.
