Pixels/Pellicule explores the shifting boundaries between photography and digital creation, where the visible is transformed and reinvented.
Each artist questions matter, light, and trace, revealing the unexpected beauty of chance and imprint.
The ABSTRACT PROJECT Gallery exhibition, on view from 5.02 to 14.02.2026, proposes an original approach that questions photography in its experimental retrenchments, where the image ceases to be a simple recording of reality to become a veritable territory of experimentation.
At the crossroads of silver film and pixels, the visible is transformed, fragmented and recomposed. What seemed stable becomes uncertain, what was given is reinvented. The image is no longer simply a reflection of the world, but the site of a metamorphosis.
Each approach questions the very material of photography. Light, sometimes controlled, sometimes left to chance, reveals unexpected forms. Surfaces blur, contours shift, accidents become language. Traces, whether chemical or digital, are never neutral. It carries the memory of the gesture, the process, the time inscribed in the image.
In this hybrid space, “controlled” chance plays an essential role. It is not a flaw to be corrected, but a creative force capable of bringing out unexpected beauty. Errors, alterations and technical shifts open up new readings and shift our gaze. The image becomes an imprint, both fragile and persistent, oscillating between disappearance and revelation.
Pixels/Pellicule offers a reflection on our contemporary relationship with images. Between materiality and immateriality, between control and letting go, these works invite us to slow down, to observe differently, and to accept that photography is no longer a certainty, but an experience in perpetual transformation.
