Synopsis

Jean-Marc Bustamante began his photographic work in 1978 with the series Tableaux, and moved from there into sculpture. Deliberately sticking to simple forms, well-defined themes and materials, he renews, re-enlivens the first, most basic bodily and visual relations that one experiences before a piece of art. At the same time, his work leads directly up to the present. What does it mean for us to perceive, ponder, or incorporate an image or a sculpture today? The essays in this volume, covering the work created to this date, discuss the role of photography in contemporary art, the duality of sculpture in its optical/tactile relations to the viewer's body, the ideas of landscape, architectural space, and the place of the work. Together they attempt to define the multi-form notion of "presence" formulated by Bustamante.

About this title

Product Description:

Since the 1970s, Jean-Marc Bustamante's work has ranged from photographs of cypress trees to geometric sculptures in metal, cement, wood, bricks and glass. The essays collected here explore the powerful tensions inherent in his work: between abstract and representational forms, between natural and manmade objects, between the visual and the corporeal.
