NOEMIE GOUDAL



Noemie Goudal´s work Les Amants is a very well constructed project, with interesting and aesthetic photos. I love her sets and the way she has performed the staging and the use of materials. The work is aiming to explore the relationship of man to the environment, and the use and misuse of materials.

 ´The main theme explored in my project Les Amants (The Lovers) is the invasion of man-made elements into organic landscapes: a topic that raises obvious environmental questions such as the passionate relationship that societies maintain with the world they live in, their desperate need of exploration and expansion. Would it not be the excessive passion of their build that led to its own destruction? They are like lovers, lovers of the ground.

They loved it so much that they consumed it all at once. Then left.  After the passage of passionate lovers, there are traces; remains of a past time that recount impulse and desire. After the passage of passionate societies, there are relics of paradise that offer fictional fantasies and alternative worlds. After the passage of passionate destructions, there are frail vestiges that after time inevitably remarry and rebuild new lands…´
