OEuvres photographiques/Photographic works 2004/2014

The book retraces the last ten years in the career of Mauren Brodbeck, an artist from Geneve who, with her work, overrides the borders between art genres, creating multilayered images able to call the limits between real and virtual into question.Photography, collage, graphics are only a few of the instruments she uses to undermine our perceptive frames of mind. The use of color applied to elements of the urban landscape as buildings, car parks, warehouses, hides them while, at the same time, makes them monumental. Equally monumental are the colored objects, similar to oversized sculptures, the artist includes within her city views.The dialogue between presence and absence can be found in the processing of the human figure, where the color transforms the bodies into silhouettes, in order to underline the passage from one state of the form to another.
