Ce n'est pas de l'art à la louche! By Benedicte, Lucile & Alice (aka BLA!)


Dove Allouche is a Parisian photographer born in 1972. His work can be seen from the 15th of October until the 30th of December 2011 at the FRAC in Clermont-Ferrand.

This exhibition is of the work he has done during the last decade, about time and image. There are one hundred and forty short exposure photos. He captures the instant which normally we cannot see.

In the poetically named “Le diamant d’une étoile a rayé le fond du ciel” ("The diamond of a star has scratched the back of the sky"), the artist shows off his virtuosity. Five years were needed to finally achieve this picture.

Allouche's work is impressive... Not to go and see it would be "louche" (this is a pun on the artist's name; "louche" means "equivocal" but also "to squint" in French)!
