Within this new serial production, Olivier Metzger’s artistic line seems to swing over radically : from day to night, from sanitized interiors to night bird wanderings, from bright basic light to chiaroscuro braking through obscurity into awaken dreams.
Olivier Metzger keeps from his suburban wanderings a few unpredictable blurings and some inappropriate meetings or phosphorescent signs.
Through his long track in the photograph gives an intuitive close up.
Action shots or constructed scenes either way, the stars twinkles alive or dead.
Fireflies, phantasmagorias and phantoms are prowling withn his frame : an hallucinate stray dog crops up and glances at us, a pale horse like a symbollic animal apparition or a page pulled out from a Malcom Lowry book (Beneath The Volcano).
The photograph’s flash breaches into the night. Weegee used to reveal real morbid crime scenes, on the other hand Olivier Metzger would deal with humoristic and fantastic enigmas.
