Présentation

"Je me devais de comprendre les raisons pour lesquelles je perçois le monde de cette façon, ce qui est important à mes yeux, ce qui me fascine, d'où je puise mon inspiration, ce que je souhaite montrer au monde et pourquoi...J'ai réalisé que la photographie ou le fait de prendre des photos n'était pas mon but en soi mais juste un outil. Je ne souhaite pas créer de simples photographies mais plutôt, des sentiments, des émotions. Je souhaite que mes images aient un impact sur le regardeur. Cela me semble bien plus pertinent et nécessaire aujourd'hui."

Biographie

Fasciné par la photographie depuis l’âge de 14 ans, Jan C. Schlegel a raffiné son style et sa technique à la fois in-camera et en chambre noire sous le mentorat de Walter Schels et Toni Schneiders. Depuis ses premiers voyages en Asie en 1998, sa curiosité et sa philanthropie l’ont amené à visiter 61 pays avec pour but la documentation de ses rencontres et la préservation du patrimoine le plus important de l’humanité: les individus qui la compose. Trouvant ses modèles au gré de ses pérégrinations, que ce soit dans un marché, un village ou le long d’une route, il capture leur identité telle qu’elle est, sans artifice, tenue d’apparat ou maquillage. Avec son Ebony SV45 Ti comme moyen de communication, il les place devant un fond gris neutre afin de recentrer l’attention sur la personne sans laisser son environnement influer sur notre perception. Peu importe où ils furent pris, les portraits de Schlegel mettent en lumière l’unicité de la personne face à son objectif tout en effaçant la distance qui nous sépare de cet étranger. Excluant toute manipulation digitale, il procède à un virage partiel au selenium lors du développement afin d’enrichir les tonalités; il en résulte des oeuvres à l’esthétique instantanément reconnaissable.


Appliquant les mêmes principes à tout être vivant, Schlegel s’est depuis quelques années tourné vers des entités étrangères à notre compréhension: petits insectes, créatures marines, reptiles, etc. Que ce soit dûe à la peur qu’elles nous inspires, à leur petite taille, ou simplement à leur habitat différent du notre, la distance qui nous en sépare est là encore réduite par les gros plans de l’artiste. Cela nous permet ainsi de percevoir la délicate beauté et les détails normalement invisible à l’oeil nu. Le choix d’un tirage noble, au platinum, souligne par ailleurs se volonté de porter ses sujets au rang d’oeuvres d’art de la nature. Ce type de procédé, extrêmement rare et dispendieux, possède une stabilité telle qu’il est aujourd’hui considéré comme le plus pérenne de tous les tirages photographiques. De plus, suivant la technique mise au point par Irving Penn, Schlegel ajoute de l’iridium à la solution sensibilisante afin de magnifier le tirage et ajouter de la profondeur aux tonalités. Ces émulsions étant dosée et appliquée à la main par l’artiste, chaque tirage possède des qualités qui lui sont propres, le rendant de fait unique.


Depuis sa première exposition à Paris Photo en 2007, Jan C. Schlegel est depuis lors régulièrement invité par Leica à mettre en avant son talent lors d’ateliers organisés durant la célèbre foire parisienne. Il est aujourd’hui reconnu pour ses portraits intemporels ainsi que son exceptionnelle technicité. Finaliste des Hasselblad Masters et gagnant de la compétition Agfa, ses oeuvres sont collectionnées internationalement.
