Hugues Reip
According to Clément Rosset, “philosophical illusionism is to announce meaning without demonstrating it, in the same way the magician brings his audience to see vanished objects by the mere power of suggestion.” The illusion, of course, occurs on the sly, in successive shifts. Just as sweat nestles in the pores of the skin, these stealthy yet controlled slips lie in the shadows, echoes and reflections of the world. Illusion, in its way, is an ode to gradualness. A fine line divides illusion from enticement, and Hugues Reip often crosses that line.
Hugues Reip’s (born 1964 in Cannes) recent solo exhibitions include Black Soul, Crystal Palace, Bordeaux; Archéocinéma, Kiné-Vision et autres Fantasmagories animées Le Nouveau Festival #2, MNAM Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Parallel Worlds, M.O.T Museum, Tokyo and Eden, Safn Museum, Reykjavik.
