ELISE GEROSA france
title
Odyssey 2020
After an intensive search to find ideas in every corner of my house, and seeking objects that correspond to my universe, I came across Marbles, those from our childhood, carefully preserved by my father.
I Scrutinized them closely, and found myself travelling through the cosmos. I saw incredible planets and wanted to illustrate this odyssey towards the unknown!
In a context where physical journeys are no longer possible, I want to allow everyone to escape in a different way, through this new series I invite the spectator to travel with me to new territories and feel space for a few minutes of weightlessness.
3 pictures by week during the quarantine in France (from 15 Mars 2020 to 11 May 2020)
Although her images are often unreal, she leaves no room for chances: everything is constructed, placed, and thought through.
Since several years, this photographer underwent photographic research around textures and the composition of our planet Earth.
With sensibility, accuracy, and modesty, the world of Elise Gerosa puts focus on the beauty and richness of elements present in the lithosphere.
