Geraldine Wilcke’s photographs can be seen as the testimony, the trace or the imprint of a long and meticulous work around architecture, light and shadow. Her approach is the result of multiple inspirations such as Anish Kapoor, Pierre Soulages, Jean Nouvel, Daniel Buren or Josef Albers, to name but a few.
As in a theatre of forms, the artist assembles, sculpts or simply places materials such as paper, metal or Plexiglas. She dictates the role of each on the stage and gives them a voice through materials, shadows and reflections.
The minimalism, the perfectly controlled geometry and the purity that emerge from her work, question our notion of reality. Are we faced with a work of art, a performance or the sole trace of an ephemeral plastic creation?
Whichever way you look at it, the feeling of preciousness that emanates from Géraldine Wilcke’s works is due to their formal quality as much as to their material non-existence. Thus, the artist captures the elusive and shows us a fragment of a second that she will have constructed in several hours.
