Régis Colombo

Lausanne

In 20 years, photography has undergone radical changes: technical ones, of course, with the digital revolution but also aesthetical ones with an outburst of fields of artistic experimentation, media, interpenetrations with other forms of visual expression. Nowadays, possibilities seem endless, the art photography market is effervescent, the culture of photography dominates the social space. The work of Swiss photographer Régis Colombo reflects these upheavals. From black and white film photography to digital creations, his work explores and restores the proliferation of contemporary photography. Documentaries in all parts of the world, landscapes, portraits, outlooks, textures, materials… Right from his first magazine In 20 years, photography has undergone radical changes: technical ones, of course, with the digital revolution but also aesthetical ones with an outburst of fields of artistic experimentation, media, interpenetrations with other forms of visual expression. Nowadays, possibilities seem endless, the art photography market is effervescent, the culture of photography dominates the social space. The work of Swiss photographer Régis Colombo reflects these upheavals. From black and white film photography to digital creations, his work explores and restores the proliferation of contemporary photography. Documentaries in all parts of the world, landscapes, portraits, outlooks, textures, materials… Right from his first magazine cover in Thailand up to the New York exhibitions, his camera lets you see the world in all its forms, whether real or imaginary… In the flickering of an eyelid you can come across Woody Allen, the Amsterdam brothels, some children playing football on a cloud. The sea foam turned into a graphical abstraction. The loneliness of towns, shadow, concrete and glass geometries. The silhouette of men swallowed by the passage of time. The movement of lives breaking down identities. In Zanzibar, three men are walking under an immense stormy sky. A bit further, an orchestra of chefs is composing a ballet with chef’s hats. The marathon runner is lost on a noreturn road. Half way between a retrospective and a projection, from his cult series “Transparencies” to the vineyards in the Lake Geneva area, which have earned him many distinctions, this book is an opportunity to wander on the tracks of an art that continues to reinvent itself.
