ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Thierry Clech works without any constraint in black and white. He attempts to push beyond the language of seeing without using many photo manipulations. His pictures show an understated, quiet view of life. Each image records the passage of time, capturing seemingly mundane scenes that simultaneously contain magic, surrealism, humor and sadness. Each time Clech takes a photograph, he tries to grasp the scope and accuracy of the moment, as well as its emotional strength. Clech’s images show us his unique and intimate view of the world, seen with respect, wonder and melancholy. Thierry Clech records on film what he sees - light, movement, landscapes and people - as if seeing them for the first and last time, like a child discovering the world, and an elderly man preparing to leave it.
