Anne-Lise Broyer: Photography as Fragmented Sensation and Literary Haunting

Anne-Lise Broyer employs photographic paper to delve into the concept of landscape as a manifestation of consciousness, drawing inspiration from the rhizome theory of Deleuze and Guattari. She began her journey at the age of nineteen with a Nikon F3 camera, prioritizing the shooting experience over aesthetic appeal. Annually, she typically captures up to eight films, influenced by figures such as Denis Roche and Claude Simon. In collaboration with Pierre Michon on 'Vermillon', she documents ephemeral scenes near his childhood residence. Broyer investigates themes from Georges Bataille and others, focusing on locations tied to crime and literature, including Lake Nemi. In 2010, she organized an exhibition dedicated to André S. Labarthe. Her artistic expression reflects a fascination with decay and consciousness, reminiscent of Dita Parlo in 'L'Atalante'.
