Arina EssipowitschMarbrière de la Sainte Victoire (UNIQUE EDT)

The double-sided photographic print has been intervened by cutting and folding. The viewer is invited to reposition the image’s modules, recombining fragmented details to compose new combinations and volumes. Thus s/he participates in a novel experience of image-making, reconfiguring visual pathways, mixing recto and verso, and making details (the figure, the protagonist) appear and disappear.

For Arina Essipowitsch, photography is never approached
independently of the medium through which it is displayed.
Beyond the image itself, the artist focuses on considering the forms as well as the
spatial arrangement of her representations. For her, it is a question of considering the
malleability of photographs, their perpetual mobility. As a result, her
works most often take the form of volumes or
installations that can also be activated during performances.

Alternatively, it can be unfolded into multiple configurations and volumes by multiplying all its dimensions in one direction or another
