LA MER ALLÉE AVEC LE SOLEIL - Ange Leccia
This book was produced on the occasion of the exhibition "La mer allée avec le soleil" by Ange Leccia, presented at the HAB Galerie in Nantes, in 2016, and produced by Le Voyage à Nantes.
In 2009, in Nantes, Ange Leccia created Nymphéa, a permanent work for Estuaire, consisting of a video projection on the surface of the water: he installed, in the city of Jacques Demy's birth, the supernatural image of a fashion and cinema icon, Laetitia Casta. By playing on the dazzling effects of the image on the aquatic element, Ange Leccia returned to the very essence of video: the projection of light. The time of the shot joins the time of the passing water. Nymphéa is underwater, just as all the images Ange Leccia seeks are within him.
This quest, this journey inside oneself, is the program of "La mer allée avec le soleil". An introspective exhibition, like a plunge into thirty-five years of practice, in which we encounter all the figures that make up the singularity and beauty of Ange Leccia's work: the omnipresence of water, images like memories of his Corsican youth; the explosions, storms, tempests and breakers that illustrate his raw sensitivity; reworked television images in which inner gravity meets the gravity of the world (in constant contrast to the beauty of the natural world); young girls or adolescence as the state of artistic creation of all possibilities, but where we feel lost in the face of the unknown; pop music and the hits that often stick to the memory of a strong feeling.
