Mutation

​Even one century by history, photography seems more than fresh as a new medium, sometimes even not arrived since there are still the questions and discourses "what is it in artistic terms ?" 
Of course a new medium but where to find the artists and authors moves between documentary and strategy in approach?
Is there enough content in terms of art to remain in collective consciousness ?

Young French artist Olivia Appelius is going a new way, opening new doors into exactly that medium, photography. 
She´s trespassing bounderies from moments to ideas (content) and vice versa, reflecting and mirroring narratives between "focus and unfocus", dancing into pleonasm, blurring the contours between opulence and rigidity far apart from contradiction, arriving and arousing abstract figuration of and in real time, muting when the "eyelense" is focusing, when the "objective" turns into "pinceau", drawing, painting, coloring, finelining.

It´s all about talking photography in the sense of, in the lens of Olivia Appelius.
