Duroy stéphane unknown. After the tragedies of twentieth-cen - Lot 83
Duroy stéphane unknown. After the tragedies of twentieth-century Europe, the challenge of this work is to envisage America as a land of welcome, a receptacle for the dramas of old Europe, an optimistic transposition of the misery and brutality of wars and revolutions. Exile imposes a radical mutation on the American man, enabling him, at the cost of denying his own memory, to integrate a new conception of the world based on ephemerality, abandonment and perpetual movement, akin to nomadism. Structured by their destiny as exiles, these people drew their strength and inventiveness from rupture. Nostalgia becomes mortifying and the future too distant to dream about. What remains is the privilege of creating the moment and adapting to it. This photographic work, born of a strong bias, ignores the great movements of this "young civilization" where information, spirituality, environment, culture and diplomacy rhyme with consumption and profit.
