Jean-François Rauzier was immediately captivated by numerical
photography when it penetrated the professional market 15 years ago. He
has been exploring the multiple opportunities offered by computer’s
retouching since then, turning himself into a “virtual” painter.
In 2002, he created the “Hyperphoto”, a concept which enables him to
deal with the impossible: to combine both infinitely big and infinitely
small things in one same image, out of time.
To simulate the illusion of reality, Jean-François Rauzier first had to
cope with all the inherent limits inherent of the photographic and
technological equipment.
He found his way by juxtaposing, duplicating, twisting images with
Photoshop, making it possible for him to reproduce human vision more
accurately. This way, he generated a genuine numerical puzzle, in which
the pieces, cut out, “drawn again”, come up along on top of the
imagination of the artist.
From this technique is issued numerous fascinating and unusual details on which the spectator can dwell on.
The multitude of images invite the spectators to an inside journey,
in dream-like, fantastic and timeless worlds. These worlds are filled
with icons and references born of the artist’s cultural hall of fame.
