Amandine Nabarra-Piomelli
This sequence of nine continuous photographs is a personal representation of the element water. In traditional philosophies it is commonly associated with the qualities of emotion and intuition. Its wavy pattern calls to mind waves on the ocean’s surface, described in mathematical theory by Bernoulli’s equation for unsteady potential flow. Palm leaf structure book with 81 strips of photos on Luster paper. 7.5 x 93 inches fully extended. Edition of 6. Optional custom lidded box features a unique pie symbol-shaped book well and magnetic flap. Covered in matching blue glass/viscose blend fabric. Photos of box available on request. To purchase this work please contact Laura at 23 Sandy Gallery. |

Amandine Nabarra-Piomelli One of my best friends recently told me she had been loving a man, secretly, since she was in college. Shocked by the news, I went roaming the freezing winter streets of Paris at night, trying to make sense of her conflicting feelings. As I was walking and taking pictures I envisioned painterly images reminiscent of the Impressionist movement and like its painters I wanted to catch particular fleeting impressions of color and light representing my state of mind and my friend’s dilemma. I experimented with layering multiple photographs to emphasize sensations of solitude, secrecy, loneliness, and missed opportunities. The 8-page book is nested in a jacket. It unfolds to reveal the “secret” which is written but not readable. Pigmented digital prints on matte paper. Four-fold single sheet booklet structure. 5.25 x 7 inches. Unfolds to 12.5 x 18.5 inches. Enclosed in a wrap around jacket. Edition of 45. To purchase this work please contact Laura at 23 Sandy Gallery. |
