Raymonde April and Estelle Fredet at Le 19, Montbéliard
Le 19, Centre régional d'art contemporain in Montbéliard, France, presents a dual exhibition from February 17 to April 1, 2001, featuring Canadian photographer Raymonde April and French artist Estelle Fredet. April's series "Les Fleuves invisibles" assembles large continuous friezes of photographs from the 1970s to the present, arranged edge-to-edge without chronology, creating a dreamlike panorama where images contaminate each other through memory and temporal fusion. Fredet's "Pages d'un journal" is a montage of thirty color photographs shot in Marseille, blending fiction with reality through a narrative of a young woman facing social and economic constraints, performed by three actors, unsettling the credibility of both photography and fiction.
