Constance Nouvel
Plans-reliefs
In Situ/Fabienne Leclerc Gallery, Paris, France
Plans-reliefs (“relief maps”) is a sequence of five spaces of representation, five vedute, each offering a unique observation situation. Constance Nouvel’s photographs have a documentary nature. She sets them into a system where they interfere with the architecture of the place and can be extended by drawing. The spatialization of the image heightens the tension between plane and volume. In this project, photography and the installation multiply the viewpoints of a museum observation situation in the same way that an orientation table offers many perspectives of a landscape.
