Jérémy LEMPLIN (1983) - Lot 219

Jérémy LEMPLIN (1983) Trop fort les filles, Women's Tour de France, 2022 Laminated digital print on card stock On the back, signed, titled, dated and numbered 1/15 Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm Note: Jérémy Lemplin is interested in everyday scenes and collective moments, where the human becomes the real subject. Here, he captures the popular energy of the women's Tour de France, not through the sporting performance itself, but through the eyes of the public. The runners, blurred by speed, pass through the image like a trail, while the spectators remain sharp, almost frozen. The contrast between movement and immobility reverses the usual hierarchy: it's the looks, the gestures and the signs - "Allez les filles", "Trop fortes" - that carry the emotion. The image thus becomes a tribute to collective momentum and popular enthusiasm, where sport acts as a social bond and a moment of sharing.
