ÉCRAN TOTAL — Text by Anne de Mondenard — Published by Silvana Editoriale

Corinne Vionnet was one of the first artists to explore, recycle and question the endless flow of snapshots shared on the Internet by tourists from all over the world.
She also observes these travelers and photographs them at work in front of landscapes and monuments. Through her series, with their renewed and attractive forms, the Franco-Swiss artist questions our relationship with screens and digital tools that invite us to duplicate images in an endless whirlwind.
The book Écran total, which covers twenty years of creation, accompanies her first solo exhibition at the Musée de Pont-Aven.

The Musée de Pont-Aven has produced a catalog of this exhibition, published by Silvana Editoriale and available at the Musée de Pont-Aven, in various bookstores and online.

PARIS PARIS PARIS

NEW BOOK!
Paris Paris Paris, Corinne Vionnet
published by RVB BOOKS — Text by Anne de Mondenard, designed by Nicolas Polli

Since 2005, Corinne Vionnet’s work has focused on mass tourism and the circulation of images. In Paris Paris Paris, the Swiss artist turns her attention to one of Europe’s most photographed cities, finding numerous sites and monuments that feed an uninterrupted flow of images. She transforms the raw material she works with, namely, standardised snapshots of hyper-frequented places that directly feed social networks.
In this book project, the artist stages the works with the help of two graphic counterpoints that offer several keys to her approach and subject matter. Silhouettes pile up on several pages and double printing on the same paper enhances the effect of chaos.
Her images, which reveal nothing of the considerable work involved in their creation (archive research, crowdsourcing and collage), question our collective imaginary and tourist behavior. Why do we always take and share the same images?

Corinne Vionnet. Been There — Summer series “Ailleurs chez soi”, by Olivia Wermus, August 9th, 2023.

«Nous voyageons, regardons un monument, prenons une photo. Tout en cadrant les sites touristiques avec notre smartphone, nous créons des souvenirs photographiques, partie intégrante de notre expérience de touriste.» Le travail de l’artiste suisse Corinne Vionnet est une réflexion sur le tourisme de masse, la circulation des images, la construction d’un imaginaire collectif.
Corinne Vionnet produit ses images à la texture éthérée, en superposant des centaines de clichés amateurs glanés dans le flot de photos de
voyages qui circule sur la Toile. Elle note que la plupart des photos souvenirs de lieux touristiques sont standardisées, prises à partir d’un point de vue similaire.
Dans Been There, elle observe comment les touristes prennent des clichés pour témoigner de «j’étais là». Ils se succèdent, se superposent comme un time-lapse, cherchant à créer des souvenirs qui ressemblent à l’image qu’ils se faisaient du lieu avant de le visiter.

Effeuiller

NEW SERIES
Effeuiller [Paris], 2024 — A composite image is stripped back by removing successive image layers. The first image chosen for this series Effeuiller is the city of Paris with Sacré Coeur in the distance – such a static view, but one that, all the same, moves slightly from one image layer to the next. These images seem at once simpler and less distinct as each translucent image layer is peeled back.

MUSEUM ACQUISITION
Musée Carnavalet, Paris

Five works from my series Paris Paris Paris have been acquired by the Carnavalet Museum in Paris. These works are part of the current show The Seine, from 1977 to the present days (see below).

V&A Dundee

EXHIBITION
Photo City: How Images Shape the Urban World — Look through the lens at how photography frames the way we experience our cities.

The invention of photography has transformed the world. Today, photographic images are everywhere and the acts of taking, sharing and responding to them are integral to daily life.
The explosion of photographic experimentation in the mid-19th century coincided with the rapid growth of cities across the globe. This exhibition brings together iconic images from the V&A’s collections as well as works by contemporary photographers, architects and digital artists to explore how photography and cities have influenced each other.
Diorama Map, Dundee by photographer Sohei Nishino is a large-scale photographic map of Dundee offering a captivating and intricate portrait of the city, through the eyes of the photographer.

Musée Carnavalet, Paris

EXHIBITION
La Seine, de 1977 à nos jours

The Seine holds a special place in the history of the capital as well as in the life and in the fantasies of Parisians. On some 13 kilometers, 37 bridges connect its two banks. The most recent of them, the Simone-de-Beauvoir footbridge, was inaugurated in 2006. If the river shaped Paris, its uses changed and developed which also transformed it.
The Seine was used as resources, commercial axis, patrimonial space, and, increasingly as a place turned towards leisure activities, all the while remaining a natural site to be protected. In 1991, the banks of the Seine became a Unesco World Heritage Site: from the pont de Sully to the pont d’Iéna, on the right bank and until the pont de Bir-Hakeim on the left bank.
On this same bank, closed to cars in 2016, a 2.3 kilometers walk was built for pedestrians and cyclists, from the musée d’Orsay to the pont de l’Alma. The focal point of the 2024 Olympic Games, the Seine is, on this occasion, inaugurated by athletes as a place for swimming.

Museo de Bellas Artes, Bilbao

EXHIBITION
30-30-30 — curated by Ramón Esparza.

30 years after the Ría de Hierro exhibition, Bilbao Metropoli-30 and the museum have joined forces to show, once again through photography, a renewed image of the metropolitan area at the mouth of the Nervión. It is a smaller project but with the same spirit as the one that in 1993 gave an account of the state of an urban area that was witnessing the end of its industrial stage, with the main factories, installed on the edge of the estuary, closed or about to close. The one presented here presents, first of all, a gender difference, since three female views have covered the territory of the Lower Nervión. In addition, the images reveal the depth of social change experienced during these decades. Corinne Vionnet's vision of the city comes from social networks. And if we know that our knowledge of the world is largely constructed through images, her work raises the question of the dilution of the image in reality. Vanessa Winship and María Azkarate adopt more "conventional" points of view, focusing on the physical city - the urban fabric and its ruptures - and the human city, another of the poles of change in recent years. They show us that the vernacular city has become, like so many others in Europe, a potpourri of origins and languages.

EXIT magazine - 89 - motion

PUBLICATION
Un movimiento glaciar — Glacial movement — by Manuel Padín.

A popular phrase in the Spanish-speaking world, “El movimiento se demuestra andando” (“Movement is shown by walking”) is not exactly true because there are many differing views on the concept of movement. In Issue 89 of EXIT we take a look at some names – some of them very well established, some of them new – and provide examples of how photography strives to emerge from a state of motionlessness without moving, without ceasing to be a photograph. People, landscapes, the sky, the sea, nature, the city… Photography and photographers go to great lengths to subtly reveal the latent movement of life, of the world.

CHEFS-D’OEUVRE DU 21e SIÈCLE

PUBLICATION
Chefs-d’Oeuvre du 21e siècle. L’art à l’ère du digitale [ 21st century masterpieces. Art in the digital age] — by Dominique Moulon.

Whereas the craftsmen of the Middle Ages completed their apprenticeships with the production of a masterpiece, in the 19th century, with the advent of the museum, the masterpiece took on its full dimension. The modern art avant-garde then diverted from it. However, this notion is re-emerging in the first quarter of the 21st century, and we can already take a critical look at it through the contemporary creations that illustrate it so perfectly. The fifty masterpieces gathered in this book are approached through the prism of contemporary issues raised by, among other things, our cohabitation with robots, the relationship we have with artificial intelligence, the flow of images and the processing of our data. For the masterpieces of the third industrial revolution, those that emerge from both the use and the critique of science and innovation technologies, offer us as many readings of today's digital world. Analyzing each creation allows us to consider what, possibly, makes it a masterpiece.

Artists : Memo Akten, Refik Anadol, Cory Arcangel, Ed Atkins, Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil, Adam Basanta, Valérie Belin, Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion, Grégory Chatonsky, Ian Cheng, Kate Cooper, Douglas Coupland, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Disnovation.org, Pascal Dombis, Justine Emard, Félicie d’Estienne d’Orves & Éliane Radigue, Cao Fei, John Gerrard, Andreas Gursky, Michael Hansmeyer, Camille Henrot, Pierre Huyghe, Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis, Eduardo Kac, Oliver Laric, Mark Leckey, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, LuYang, Christian Marclay, Lauren Lee McCarthy, Katja Novitskova, Trevor Paglen, Julien Prévieux, Jon Rafman, Steve Reich / Gerhard Richter & Corinna Belz, Tabor Robak, Evan Roth, Rafael Rozendaal, Thomas Ruff, Arcangelo Sassolino, Michele Spanghero, Samuel St-Aubin, Jennifer Steinkamp, Hito Steyerl, Amalia Ulman, Penelope Umbrico, Corinne Vionnet, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Du Zhenjun.

Corinne Vionnet’s Total project is an examination of symbols, viewing them as they are transmitted and multiplied, and as they experience processes of transformation and collapse. Vionnet has located a small cluster of motifs, which she examines through processes of reproducibility - our media ecologies and systems of production and reproduction. [...]. In Total Palm Tree, a scanner and a postcard printing process exchange an emblem of exotic paradise, until it is both scorched and flooded on its way to disappearance.

EXHIBITION
SEND ME AN IMAGE — From Postcards to Social Media

Photography has always been a social medium that has been shared with others. But why do people communicate with each other using images? And how do the “virtual distillates” of photographs change society? The thematic exhibition Send me an Image . From Postcards to Social Media outlines the development of photography from a means of communication in the nineteenth century to its current digital representation online. The focus is on the dialogue between historical forms of traveling images from photography over the past 150 years and contemporary artists from the 1970s onwards who work with both traditional and modern photographic techniques, uses, and means of communication.
Participating artists: ABC Artists' Books Cooperative, Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin with Der Greif, David Campany & Anastasia Samoylova, Fredi Casco, Moyra Davey, Themistokles von Eckenbrecher, Martin Fengel & Jörg Koopmann, Stuart Franklin, Gilbert & George, Dieter Hacker, Tomas van Houtryve, Philippe Kahn, On Kawara, Erik Kessels, Marc Lee, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Mike Mandel, Theresa Martinat, Eva & Franco Mattes, Jonas Meyer & Christin Müller, Peter Miller, Romain Roucoules, Thomas Ruff, Taryn Simon & Aaron Swartz, Andreas Slominski, Clare Strand, Corinne Vionnet.

In his analysis of Brave New World and 1984, cultural critic Neil Postman argues that it was Aldous Huxley who got the future right more than George Orwell. For, he writes, “Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.” In its own way, Vionnet’s work suggests it might be love that denies us an expansive, uniquely imagined world. Humane, open, and impersonal is a feel-good but problematic way of seeing — the hive mind’s eye, a glimpse of our collective, collapsing, hungry vision.

ACQUISITION
Musée d'art du Valais — When I was 35 year old, I decided to change completely my orientation and started visual art. I started with two projects, 'Photo Opportunities' and a photo work titled 'From Rhone Glacier to Lake Geneva' that was a personal research into the county where I come from, walking along the Rhone river, from its glacier to the lake Geneva.

My work "Julie, Choëx, 2010" is today part of the collection of the Art Museum of Valais, along with the Rhoneglacier acquired a few years ago.

BOOK
Collector Daily — by Loring Knoblauch — Photography criticism from a Collector's perspective

CIELS is a thoughtfully constructed photographic project which has been tightly coupled to its ultimate photobook form, using the book itself to activate the imagery in specific and controlled ways. Once again, Vionnet has cleverly uncovered intricate layers of complexity in a hackneyed subject, using a 21st century perspective to reinvent a photographic cliché.

SFMOMA _ snap+share

EXHIBITION
MOMA OF SAN FRANCISCO — snap+sharetransmitting photographs from mail art to social networks

The exhibition snap+share gives visitors a new way to visualize — and experience — how photographs have become so ubiquitous in our daily lives. Whether through early examples of 1960s and '70s mail art, physical piles of pictures uploaded to the Internet over a 24-hour period, or a working refrigerator that allows participatory meme-making, visitors can trace the evolution of sharing photographs.

Spanning the history of mail art to social networks, the show presents a variety of artists working in various media, from framed paper-based art to immersive installations. Some of these artists include On Kawara, Ray Johnson, Moyra Davey, Erik Kessels, Corinne Vionnet, and David Horvitz. Exploring how networks are created through the act of sending images out into the world, this exhibition reveals just how those networks have changed in the age of the Internet.

My work Photo Opportunities will be part of the exhibitions snap+share at the SFMOMA.

The durably exciting thing about Vionnet’s Total Flag [work] is that it can be read equally well on two distinct levels. It is both a meticulous artistic study of the effects of iterative image recursion and an archly biting roadmap of the where America might be heading, its abstractions just open-ended enough to allow us to extend the visual evidence of the experiment into a searing visual metaphor for national degradation. Constructing such smart artistic duality isn’t easy, especially using such a simple organizing device. Total Flag is just what it needs to be and no more – an incisive mixture of technology and artistic thought that alternately delivers both beauty and horror.
