PIERROT
Acclaimed photographer Pierrot’s ethereal black and white nude photography is like a gentle, tactile tribute to nature and the human form. A new classic. His debut book Romance (2019) is sold out and in trade with collectors. We’re proud to present CLAY (2021), his new exhibition & book that was just released in Paris, consisting of all unique artworks. Ground by the elements until it’s fully naked, “Clay” too is made bare and unclothed by its materiality as well as its content.”
“Creation of life from clay or mud appears in the earliest mythologies. In recent years clay minerals were even proposed as possible genetic material in the origin of life so “CLAY” seemed like a perfect title for my show and second book that explores that world.”
“In nature I’m less bound by time and well, the present. I look for what the director Werner Herzog called “embarrassed landscapes” when he spoke about the lack of adequate images in our world. Desolate and forgotten landscapes. Instinctively I look for the ancestral and primal in my environment and shapes around me, not only to capture in a photograph but to exist as well.”
