Artist Statement
How to approach the heart of the world, the momentum model? How to browse this paragon city other than following the saturated broadcast stream? In the middle of the monster-planetary model, a man seeking a woman perceives the reflection of a city. Conquering, dominant, tempting and sexual, other times aggressive, provocative or cloistered. These portraits reveal what we pass as inert work : our nature. And that one comes back, whatever the size of what we build.
This photography belongs to the series «I Sought You, City of New York». This is the subject of a book, self-published. A text accompanies this series.
Gregory Copitet lives and works in Paris. Trained as an architect, which he returned to for several years, during which time this photography was constructed. Although a young photographer, he somehow handles many research projects and orders for artists, designers and architects. His approach is rather slow, quiet and sensitive to what illuminates our lives although sometimes he tries to emphasize our inconsistencies, our wanderings, or what should make us react. "I want to believe that the balance, elegance, good proportion are there before my eyes. We should not deploy forces or fireworks to make an interesting image. Look, line, wait and take it! I'm convinced that the excessive disintegrates our uniqueness, I prefer to emphasize what has disappeared from our attention and what should delight and dazzle us. Urban exploration, space power, research of spontaneous balance and elegance are the underlying focus of my attention. The apparently unnecessary as the ornament fascinates me because it flows naturally and effortlessly, makes the object so produced entirely societal... a sign of presence of conscience." Movies about artificial experiences inspire him. He is preparing a series about Michelangelo Antonioni’s movie, "Blow-up". A reflection about the place of details in Antonioni's works. In Los Angeles, a series inspired by two major films : «Sunset Boulevard» by Billy Wilder and «Mulholland Drive» by David Lynch. And a series called "Grontispiece", to highlight the height of our current politicians.
