Random Nudes
“The will to work with randomness in photography comes from my writing work activated, for a lot, by the choice of organizational and semantic constraints, and notably by the contribution of randomness in the “specifications” of my poetry. Listening therefore only to the good advice of famous and influential potential ouvroirs, I make the choice to mix poetry, photo, combinatorial and random. It is a work on the body, as a noble material. And on the nude as an essential anthropomorphic model. It is a question of cutting the naked body in 9 bands and of leaving to chance the creation of new nudes that have become potential. It is a question of seeking if, mixed randomly, 100 simple and systematic nudes give to see something additional. In the same way, randomness gives rise to a homogeneous potential poetry in which the listener can fix his attention on series of words related to anatomy.” – Lucas Falchero – Lucas Falchero
Lucas Falchero
Photographer, poet, painter, beekeeper, urban explorer, Lucas Falchero lives and works in Clermont-Ferrand. For about fifteen years, he has been interested in photographing industrial, architectural, religious or scenic heritage where man shines through his physical absence.
His photography is often described as urban, technical and concrete, but one cannot help but see a non-descriptive, almost abstract poetry in the exhibition he makes of places built for man and yet empty of human presence.
His work oscillates between technical photography of architecture and heritage and the unique vision of a photographer who is curious about the city as well as the traces and passages of the men who animate it every day and sometimes forget it.
