FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS


In Zach (The Rider) #1, Dean West explores myth and ritual in the contemporary American West. Set in a Lienzo Charro arena, a space rooted in Mexican and Indigenous traditions, the photograph reimagines rodeo culture as a shared and layered history rather than a singular frontier story. The image captures a tense moment: a bull approaches while the rider stands still, the space between them charged with anticipation. West emphasizes this pause, highlighting themes of power, vulnerability, and tradition, while his precise, cinematic approach—careful composition, measured use of color, and expressive light—underscores the scene’s psychological depth.


The photograph asserts its authority through quiet restraint, neither romanticizing nor dismantling the West. It allows history, identity, and myth to remain unresolved, making the work a thoughtful reflection on American culture. Zach (The Rider) #1 is part of West’s ongoing American West project, a series of staged tableaux, landscapes, portraits, and films that examine rodeo culture, cowboy mythologies, and lived realities, presenting the West as a complex, evolving cultural landscape.

Dans Zach (The Rider) #1, Dean West explore le mythe et le rituel dans l’Ouest américain contemporain. Installée dans une arène Lienzo Charro, un espace ancré dans les traditions mexicaines et autochtones, la photographie réinvente la culture du rodéo comme une histoire partagée et stratifiée, plutôt qu’un récit unique de la frontière. L’image saisit un moment de tension : un taureau s’avance tandis que le cavalier reste immobile, l’espace entre eux chargé d’anticipation. West met l’accent sur cette pause, faisant émerger des thèmes de pouvoir, de vulnérabilité et de tradition, tandis que son approche cinématographique et précise (composition soignée, utilisation mesurée de la couleur et lumière expressive) souligne la profondeur psychologique de la scène.


La photographie impose son autorité par une retenue silencieuse, sans romantiser ni démanteler l’Ouest. Elle laisse l’histoire, l’identité et le mythe en suspens, faisant de l’œuvre une réflexion subtile sur la culture américaine. Zach (The Rider) #1 s’inscrit dans le projet en cours de West, American West, une série de tableaux mis en scène, de paysages, de portraits et de films qui examinent la culture du rodéo, les mythologies du cowboy et les réalités vécues, présentant l’Ouest comme un paysage culturel complexe et en constante évolution.
