PARIS, FRANCE.- Galerie Paul Fr鑓hes, Paris presents R閙y Lidereau - Trompe-l'oeil until December, 1st, 2007. First Parisian exhibition of Remy Lidereau (1979-), the exhibition features a selection of photographs dragged out of a series named by a title which generates inevitably questions, investigations, and attempts on decoding the image : Trompe-l'渋l.

Urban set, semi-urban or landscapes : these sites, from which emanates a feeling of singularity, are a pretext to the reconstruction of a misleading reality and, inversely, to the misleading reconstruction of this reality. Remy Lidereau proposes to see the world through an atypical look, using contemporary photography's codes, while revolving around one of the aesthetic photography's original problematic : its approach of reality.

Trompe-l'渋l ? - It is only in 2006 that Remy Lidereau gave this title to this series of photographs, mainly completed between 2003 and 2004. A series depicting the city, its suburbs, the countryside, Trompe-l'渋l proposes perceptive bits, realised with a large-framed camera, conferring high precision to the image. This last one - after being scanned - is digitally touched up in a sporadic and non-systematic way, method allowing the photographer to make his first impression and a final retranscription coincide in two dimensions, creating then two rocking points between reality and fiction were doubt remains.

Misleading souvenir / misleading image, strangeness of real and virtual reality, these echo games, this glide, constitute the principal object of the series Trompe-l'渋l.

Remy Lidereau's photographs mark with an original print the relative questioning to the potentialities of the medium, through a crop blurring the track. Here, every photograph is both likely to convince or dissuade us of the idea of reality in the image, or, at least, to question it.
