Jérémy LEMPLIN (1983) - Lot 225

Jérémy LEMPLIN (1983) The boat on Lake Plav, Montenegro, 2023 Silver print On back, signed, dated and numbered 1/7 Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm Note: In this image, Jérémy Lemplin constructs a scene of great formal simplicity, almost minimal. The boat, seen from above, becomes a geometric line that guides the eye to its end, where the bird stands motionless. This triangular composition structures the entire image, giving it a strong visual stability. The black-and-white treatment accentuates the contrasts, transforming the scene into a play of shapes and reflections. The smooth water acts as a mirror, doubling the bird's presence and reinforcing the impression of silence. The absence of horizon and spatial reference points isolates the subject, suspended in an almost abstract space. The image evokes a meditation on waiting and balance. Between animal presence and a landscape emptied of all agitation, Lemplin captures a moment of absolute calm, where photography comes close to contemplative writing.
