HK CITY VISION The work proposed here was made in Hong Kong. It is a series of photographs shot with a large format camera on outdated Polaroid silver

lm, which is no longer manufactured

since 2009. This lm had the peculiarity of having a positive and a negative of an amazing quality. The importance of the choice of this type of

lm and its age is essential in the development,

conceptualisation and nalisation of my work. Indeed, this

lm and the way I treat it allows me a unique and

random rendering on each image. The chemistry (at the time of the almost immediate development of the polaroid negative) that I voluntarily let alter the negative, creates a trace, an identity of its own for each photo. I scan the negative of the polaroid when I consider that the whole, my own image and the traces of chemical destruction on the lm melt together to the point that this whole gives the nal image a new vision. The image thus obtained exists only at a moment in time because the original negative continues its course towards a de nitive and irreversible destruction. We are immediately taken by the strength of this city but also by its nature. The energy that emanates from it is both intoxicating and overwhelming. I wanted to show the city of Hong Kong in the diversity of its architecture, both temporal and cultural-historical, and with the

particularity of being inserted into a very powerful nature.

I wanted to stay away from this very structured and purely architectural vision of HK that is conventionally shown. The photographic and aesthetic rendering is deliberately at odds with the modernity, the energy and the urban structuring of this great economic metropolis. The treatment I have developed reinforces this discrepancy and makes sense in the

nal

rendering of the images. From this point of view the city of Hong Kong becomes at the same time obsolete, futuristic and poetic and gives the impression of hovering in a form of timelessness... - Thierry Arensma

Thierry Arensma lives and works in France. He began his career as studio and commission photographer in 1985. He opened his

rst studio in 1990 and his commissioned

work covers a wide range of photographic subjects: still life, architecture, reportage, portraits, publishing and advertising. At the same time, he develops personal work in different axes such as portraiture, still life of heteroclite objects found or sought,

architecture and travel photography.

About space - HK CITY VISION It’s believed that an image is a sight which has been recreated, an appearance detached from the place and time in which it was

rst seen, and preserved

- for a few moments or a few

centuries. However it is the bond between the artist's and our own way of seeing that enables us to sense the place and time of an image.

Thierry Arensma proposes a way to read Hong Kong which re ects the multitude of layers that are contained in the city itself. His

artistic process combined with his gaze magically

captures simultaneously the concept of space and the evolution of time leading us to sense a suspended, timeless, almost unreal city atmosphere. A sort of distant transmission of a subject that becomes instead a more intuitive exploration of mood, form and vision. In his City Vision Arensma presents a space as emotionally charged forms where past and future melt into the eternal now. - Elisa Martinelli
