Jocelyne Alloucherie’s work presents itself as a landscape in a window… of a windowless building across the street - a trompe l’œil. Trompe l’œils abound, they pervade the very structure of each one of these photographs; one, two, three, more.
Dust³is a granular monument; the grain of the original photographs: views of clouds in motion, vapour colliding with solid matter; a grain of sand propelled by a puff of air, the myriad grains born of superimposed digital shots focused upon motion.
None of these pictures were touched up or reshot; they truly are an aggregate of fixed movements, a stratification of infinitesimal units, grains of sand, chemicals, and electronics that become metaphors for all dust. Dust, for we often forget, is the heir and keeper of the infinite memory of our world.
