" What I am looking for is accuracy in readability. My photos say almost nothing about the real object. It is not my work that is a tool for the analysis of the object, it is the object which is a tool for the analysis of my work. "
French artist, Patrick Tosani develops a photographic work where questions of space and scale are central. The photographic process, its potentialities, its limits, the relation to reality are constantly questioned through series of objects, bodies, clothes. Starting from ordinary subjects or objects (shoe heels, spoons, part of the body, etc.), the artist transforms them into images through enlargement, processing of light, and framing. He uses the photographic medium as a space for experimentation where reality is considered as a working material. Tosani's originality undoubtedly resides in the fact that his work testifies to a tangible phenomenon, a real presence, but where reality is finally called into question, questioned, thwarted, and questioned in a poetic and almost existential way in our relationship to the world.
