Interpretation of the work by the artist:
From the 365 Fourchettes series, this photo is a cry of distress: does this fork suddenly emerge from nothingness to manifest itself more and more in reality, or does it sink into an abyss with no return? You decide. Either way, it screams out its fragile, ephemeral existence, leaving us with the imprint of its curious beauty.
Emergence - Jean Vigneault
For Jean Vigneault, the practice of abstract photography and related reflections are a way of life that seeks to reconcile the imaginary and rational sides of existence. Inspired by this apparent duality, he increasingly invests objects of curiosity through the prism of the three fundamental questions underlying his expression:
Is it possible to observe in a stripped-down, spontaneous way, and to detach from this activity all the labels that knowledge ordinarily assigns to things? Are humans always forced to perceive through what defines them as distinct individuals? Does beauty come from the object itself, or from the gaze that conceives it as such?
Looking at the most mundane, everyday things to bring out their unsuspected beauty - this is his artistic approach, a commitment that leads him to the art of living that consists in connecting as deeply as possible with the world around him. For him, photography is a privileged way of witnessing and provoking this communion.
