THE LIGHT FROM 2019
WHITE LINE
For White Line, photographer William Farges deconstructs the human body, creating fleshy mounds that transcend terrestrial shape in favor of elegant symmetry. In his alluring diptychs, isolated and unedited fragments of human form are mirrored and turned in on themselves, seeming to vanish into the thin but conspicuous blankness that separates the two images. This white line, the undeniable border that marks the end of all photographs, becomes as much the subject of Farges’ images as the photograph
itself, devouring and bisecting the sensuous curves of the naked body. White Line evokes an anxiety and loneliness reminiscent of the work of Francis Bacon; as if governed by psychological impulse rather than the limits of the human figure, Farges’ nudes collapse in on themselves with claustrophobic determination, appearing desperately to reach into their own forms or outward to the edges of the oppressive, closed frame. Set against a backdrop of a similar peachy hue, the body is autonomous
and no longer wedded to the mind or human reason. Like some unknowable, mysterious organism, it is absorbed and concerned only with itself, seeming to claw and grasp with luminous, outstretched limbs.
Dans White Line, William Farges déconstruit le corps humain. Dans ses séduisants diptyques, des fragments isolés de corps humain semblent se refléter et se tourner sur eux-mêmes. Ils semblent ainsi s’évanouir dans cette ligne blanche mince mais bien visible qui sépare les deux images. Cette ligne blanche, frontière incontestable entre les deux photographies, devient autant le sujet des images de Farges que les courbes sensuelles de ces corps nu. White Line évoque l’anxiété et la solitude humaine. Ainsi, les nus de Farges s’effondrent sur eux-mêmes avec une détermination claustro phobique. Essayant, désespérément d’atteindre l’autre partie d’eux même. Sur fond de couleur incarnat, le corps devient autonome et n’est plus mariée à l’esprit ou à la raison humaine. Comme certains organismes mystérieux, il est absorbé et ne s’occupe plus que de lui-même, pour lui-même.
