VERSION FRANÇAISE CI-DESSOUS
“I cannot even begin to explain the amount of time scouting/shooting/testing that went into the creation of this photograph. This work is a testament to one of photography’s most important elements, time itself.”
Dean West

West's cinematic, pictorial approach is grounded in not just taking photographs but making them- emphasizing his role as a picture maker and not just a picture taker. The works are so technically brilliant they challenge the viewer to consider its ‘realness’ much like Andreas Gursky, inventing new worlds from real photographs and pushing the boundaries of the medium through tableaux based observations.

Photographed over the course of a year, West took specific geographical points around Florida and captured them multiple times. The synthetic process undermines the idea of the “moment” in photography- opting in fact to capture an array of many moments, disconnected from their spatial surroundings and rearranged across a temporal field. Due to the complexities and limitations of photographing at night, it is incredibly rare to see an image captured of nature so perfectly.

“I know the world I am creating is not a complete reality. Even photography itself is paradoxical by nature when at the hands of the creator. The medium has given me tools to not only capture but paint a world I want to live in and to some people, that experience of seeing what I am imagining is a valid and connecting experience”

Standing in front of the photograph is like standing in front of a Barnett Newman, color field based reductionist work. The tall palm staring back at you, as if it were another human being.

“The palm tree that stands tall and resilient surrounded by constant turbulence and battering is all of us”

FRANÇAIS
Durant plus d’une année, Dean West se rendit sur des lieux spécifiques en Floride qu’il captura à de multiples occasions afin de composer une image unique. Ce procédé synthétique détruit l’idée d’un instantané propre à la photographie. À la place, il propose une séquence de plusieurs moments, déconnectés de leur environnement, et repositionnés dans un champ temporel fictif. Du fait de la difficulté et des limites posées par la photographie nocturne, il est incroyablement rare de pouvoir admirer une image de la nature de nuit avec autant de détails.

“J’ai conscience que le monde que je créé n’est pas une réalité complète. La photographie en tant que telle devient paradoxale lorsqu’aux mains de son créateur. Ce medium m’a donné la possibilité non seulement de saisir mais aussi de peindre le monde dans lequel je souhaite vivre. Il permet aussi à certains de découvrir et rendre valide cet univers que je créé. C’est une experience qui nous rapproche.”

Se trouver devant cette photographie est semblable à ce que l’on éprouve devant une oeuvre de Barnett Newman réduite à son essence colorée. Le palmier se tient droit devant vous, tel un autre être humain.

“Ce palmier qui conserve sa hauteur et sa résilience peu importe les coups et turbulences qui l’assomment, c’est un peu chacun de nous.”
