Souvenirs du Sphinx
Souvenirs du Sphinx
£22.00
Memories of the Sphinx is the catalog of the exhibition presented within the framework of the Rencontres de la Photographie d'Arles festival, at the Departmental Museum of Antiquities of Arles, from July 6 to September 20, 2015.
The pyramids overshadowed the Sphinx for millennia until drawings, engravings and, above all, photographs turned it into an icon. The Wouters Deruytter collection is a history of the photography of this monumental and solitary sculpture. The Sphinx sits under skies of albumen, collodion or gelatin in monochromatic tones that range from brown to pale pink in 19th century photographs and to black and white in the 20th century. The Sphinx, witness to the birth of archeology and the growth of tourism, has seen a parade of travelers pass by. Wouters' monumental photographs offer an unprecedented view of the Sphinx. Exploring the giant with the body of a lion inside and out, the photographer invites us to the heart of the most enigmatic sculpture in the world. This work and this collection tell us to what extent heritage consciousness changes from one object to another. After accompanying and documenting the admiration for the Sphinx, it is the turn of the photographs to be preserved and offered for contemplation.
