The large-scale photographs by the contemporary photographer Stéphane Couturier are never committed to representing the purely factual. They also create a new, image-immanent order of things: Through the superposition of two different images of the same place, the artist creates intensely colored to almost abstract works. His works, which have more in common with the definition of contemporary painting as color, line and surface than with traditional notions of photography as a document, are characterized by dynamic verticals and horizontals, elegantly curving lines and brilliant effects of light and color.
