Michel HIRSCH
Photographs
The world as raw material,
Photography as a tool,
The photographer as a conductor
The photographic art of Michel HIRSCH is above all the fruit of many passions.
Passion for the world surrounding us, firs,t of all, forged by thirty years of fine tuning his eye as a building and public works engineer, during which his aim was to transform space, to model, create and construct.
Passion also for photography, an ultimate art used to captivate and convey the ephemeral beauty of a moment, of light, or of natural or human creations.
His training, at the l’Ecole de l’Image des Gobelins in Paris was key to his developing new insight on the world, and was the starting line for his unique and singular collection of photographic works.
Exposition
The photographic series “Baie de Somme” by Michel HIRSCH taken on board an ULM is a series of paintings that invite us to contemplation.
This work allows you to breathe as much as it frees your gaze.
This set of particularly rich ecosystems is also a landscape treasure. Here, the photo only shows its aerial version of the landscape. This is what reveals the insistent and repeated work of wind and water on sand and mud. The result is views of striking abstraction, which in their own way bring the measure of the unstoppable power of nature.
“I am fascinated by what landscapes have to offer us… their timeless capacity to build”
