Dans LʼEspace: Poussières, Points, Trames et Chatoiements, Lʼimage Prototype, Restes et Promesses

This publication spans over Pierre-Olivier Arnaud's work since the early 2000s and is accompanied by François Aubart and Anne Giffon-Selle texts. The work of Pierre-Olivier Arnaud is based on the image, that is to say the image as a motif which tends to inhabit a cycle of disappearance.

The artist questions the status that the images he collects can have, a status that is relatively blurry because of the very precariousness of these motifs and their identity. It is with the invisible, fragile qualities of images, in their non-obviousness and in the representations and interpretations they can give rise to, that which Pierre-Olivier Arnaud works with. Moving away from a concrete look at the image, he produces a multitude of often abstract works, almost always in black and white, blurring our established vision and transforming the visible.
