LE IN DU FESTIVAL PLANCHE(S) CONTACT
With the founding idea of giving priority to creative residencies and public commissions, Planche(s) Contact's theme is the exploration and restitution of all that constitutes the identity factors of a city. Year after year, the invited photographers look at Deauville and exhibit their singular vision. Discover the names of the photographers who have taken a look at Deauville and will exhibit from October 20 to November 25, 2018.
ISABEL MUÑOZ
Half man, half beast
Invited to share her vision of Deauville, Isabel Muñoz chose to work on the horse and the sea. The muscularity in relief, the short coat, the prominent eye, the horse has always intrigued the photographer who already foresees the results of this carte blanche. In the continuity of her research on the body and movement, this new series will continue her quest for understanding the world without detours. After the primates ( Family Album series, 2016), this approach to the equestrian universe will highlight our relationship to the animal, to nature. On the beach, in the water, Isabel Muñoz hopes to concentrate in her photography a form of fusion between man, horse, water. Through a set of about twenty prints, she tells us about her experience in Deauville, using close-up shots and gestures that she has captured or guessed.

ISABELLE CHAPUIS

I like to work on the relationship with the skin and more generally with organic materials. The skin represents the limit of our physical body, as the coastline represents the limit of the earth. In his book Le Moi Peau, Didier Anzieu puts forward the hypothesis of a double-faced skin: an internal face that contains, limits; an external face that perceives, protects.
[...]
Resulting from the erosion of limestone cliffs, Deauville is characterized by a long sandy beach. During this residency I would like to work on the relationship between sand and skin, and to use the material sand as a support for a narrative.
Working with sand has, in essence, an ephemeral dimension. I like the idea that the act of creation is linked to the present moment. Life is movement. Creating works that are not meant to be permanent makes sense to me: they are part of the essence of who we are, they reflect our condition. A whole part of this work will deal with our ephemeral dimension and by opposition with our relationship to eternity."
PLACE OF EXHIBITION : SMALL BASIN
Adjacent to the Claude Lelouch square, in front of the municipal tennis courts.
Open air exhibition.
LIZ HINGLEY
Deauville's Chatonnière
In Deauville, a pedestrian passageway links the crèche for the very young and the home for the elderly. One welcomes people from 60 to 95 years old. The other welcomes 25 children from 3 months to 3 years old. These two places of life face each other and organize their days with similar sequences and appointments: morning games, lunch, nap and afternoon games while waiting for snack time and the return, at the end of the afternoon, to the house. Liz Hingley, was seduced by this proximity and neighborhood, specific to Deauville, and by this symbolism of a life journey that begins and ends from one sidewalk to the other. For Planche(s) Contact 2018, she wishes to immerse herself for several days in these two universes and to create moments of encounter and exchange between these two generations. Beyond an anthropological or social approach, it is above all a question of revealing in photography, in their truths or their spontaneities, the echoes that these two segments of life make to each other.
PLACE OF EXHIBITION : LA CHATONNIÈRE
Next to the town hall, 69 rue Victor Hugo.
Open every day from October 20th to November 4th, then Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 1 pm and from 2:30 pm to 7 pm.
YUSUF SEVINÇLI

"I believe that the most important thing in a comprehensive, less superficial and human photographic narrative is the personal look that one infuses into it. Thus, in Deauville, I wish to walk the streets in an instinctive way, rather than with a precise goal. I don't want to photograph the city in a methodical way because, on the contrary, I want to convey a more sincere feeling of my experience and of the time I might spend there.
I wish to photograph the city and its inhabitants (at home, at work, on the street) but also the beach and its lights, the streets and the shadows, the proximity and the distance, my encounters and my adventures, the history of this City and the imprints of the people who have passed through it, its little secrets and mysteries, in its life in the open as well as in its smallest corners."
EXHIBITION SITE : PROMENADE LUCIEN BARRIÈRE
Access by the boulevard Eugène Colas.
Open air exhibition.
Yusuf Sevinçli is represented by the Galerie les Filles du Calvaire, Paris.
