Clusters

Shot on medium format digital cameras, each image is a composite of successive photographs. They present a richly textured construction of worlds where people come and go, leaving their mark on an already accumulated history. Like nests layered with deposits of matter and life, these spaces bear witness to dramatic events and mundane moments alike. The artists focus on these habitats that trigger in them a raw, immediate, and precise sensation, shaping each site into a visual archaeology of the quotidian, always on the brink of disappearance.

Through carefully staged mise-en-scène, Turpin and Létourneau privilege the spirit of place, transforming each location into a complex tapestry of human presence. Their work invites us to pause and reflect on the traces we leave behind in our transient passages through life, capturing the delicate balance between memory and materiality in these spectral locations.
