01. Solenn HerryLo invisible a los ojos
Series of double exposures on expired film rolls seeking to visualize the intangible. Portraits of young people merging into the vastness of life. What makes you feel young? How to describe that feeling of being invincible and invisible at the same time. Youth seeps into our surroundings and we shine feverishly. Perhaps one day they can truly see us.

INTERVIEW


What do you find in your photography?

I find myself and those around me. My photograph is full of inexplicable impulses. My loves, my heartbreaks, my favorite songs, and that splinter in my foot that never came out with the tweezers. I find order and chaos, a certain unbalanced balance that makes me journey through life.

In what way does analog photography represent your artistic vision?

I represent myself through both types of photography, digital and analog, but my relationship with analog photography is gentler due to its roughness. I mostly use expired rolls of film because they allow me to lose control over my work. I find myself in dialogue with my own thoughts, materializing them together with another, chance. The personal work becomes dual, thus also representing the ups and downs of life. I see opportunity in mistakes to let go of rationalization and make room for emotion. To be surprised by a caress or a slap. I never really know what will come out; what I want and what I wanted are no longer the only things at stake.

How is concept of creating a double exposure created?

I've always been a very curious person, eager to break norms that seemed anchored in cement. During adolescence, a time of transition and exploration, I stumbled upon the Picsart app, where my work with image overlays began. I suppose it stems partly from the duality that defines me as an immigrant. Half from here, half from there. I want a bit of everything. I am the sum of my parts and I add the parts of my surroundings to make them feel as personal as possible.
Today, thanks to an experimental analog photography workshop at Suki, I learned to create double exposures directly on film when taking photos. I play with what I see, which is much more than the selected frame for a photo. Everything unfolds within a context surrounded by stimuli, and I try to make them converse with each other.

In your project, you talk about youth as a sensation that oscillates between the visible and the invisible. Is there a way for us to stop being invisible?

There's something about the collectivity and massiveness of youth that fascinates me — feeling equal to strangers in any space without the need to establish a connection other than simply being young. The issue with collectivity is that it can dilute the individual perception of each person who is part of that whole. However, the invisibility of youth in this society created for functional adults seems to me a virtue in a way; if nobody sees us, we're left only with seeing ourselves and creating our own spaces like Archivium.

Who or what inspires you?

I am inspired by the people around me who exude art through their pores in whatever way they express it. My mother, my friends, those near and those far but always present. I am inspired by the city with its smells, its grittiness, and the characters who traverse it as if it were their home. And I am inspired by the mountains, which are always there when I need them, immovable and immense, reminding me that I am just another walker passing through to do what I love.

How would you like the public to view your work?

In their own way, subjectively, personally, and chaotically. My photographs are double, triple, multiple exposures; they have no right side up or downside. They don't seek to make sense because feelings don't adhere to such rules. I would like the audience to see themselves in the artwork, or to hate it and not understand it. I want it to evoke something, whatever that may be.

How can we create greater democratization / access within the artists' community?

By creating our own spaces, organizing calls for submissions, gathering in the streets. Let's take public spaces to find our audience. We all are part of this. Promotion is also key in this virtual life we lead. Reaching someone wherever they are. Sharing and sharing to build connections and community.
