TERRI WEIFENBACH
Guest photographer at the Planche(s) Contact festival in 2013

Born in New York in 1957 and raised in Maryland, Terri Weifenbach first exhibited in a group show in 1979 and in a solo show in 1991. She is the author of more than thirteen books, often in limited editions, highly sought after by collectors. Her work has been included in many prestigious collections such as the Hermès Collection , Sir Elton John Photography Collection, Museum Ludwig, Koln, Germany, Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, CA or the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ.
Her work is totally atypical: she photographs only fragments of nature - trees, flowers and sometimes insects - sublimated by a skilful play between sharpness and blur. In Deauville, the artist has focused on the Calouste Gulbenkian park, the municipal greenhouses, private gardens and the floral decorations that dot the town. A look at the city in bloom where details have all their importance. Beyond the forms, Terri immerses us in the landscape and gives us to feel the atmosphere that emanates from it, it only remains to imagine the scents.
