AU BORD DE L'OMBRE (Shadows)

by Gérard Rondeau

"On the back of a naked woman sitting on a bed, Rondeau wrote these words taken from Roger Gilbert-Leconte:"Looking at something to the point where your eyes pop out, where skull explodes, with the eyes behind the eyes, from behind your head, like a blind man with a luminous scream..." The eyes behind the eyes:no other words could say it better." Philippe Dagen, February 2015

From April 15th to June 14th, 2015

SHADOWS
Au bord de l'ombre

by Gérard Rondeau

In this very poetic and personal book, that can be read as a dreamed and revealed autobiography, Gérard Rondeau gives us somptuous phtographs in black and white, mirrors of the world, of its shadow and suffering zones, its silences and gaps. Sometimes surrealist, when it comes about the Roger Vailland's Grand Jeu, sometimes very realist, through a portrait gallery of Alain Bashung, Cabu or Paul Bowles, his images are live accounts, stories on hold.

REBEYROLLE
or a painter diary

A book and an exhibition

"A Rondeau's book for Rebeyrolle, one lending on his eye and voice to the other, to produce the book he would never have made without him. […]
Rondeau fades away, Rebeyrolle moves forward; these are the lyrics. For the music, the images one, they go in this book arm in arm. There are few complicity accounts more moving than the ability of an artist to serve another artist, when there is an intimate link between them. The Diary of their journeys, a luxury that is this infinite story, is a gift. […] At the moment he died, one looked the other go to the other side to his canvas." Pierre Assouline
