Mystery Street
Artist: Vasantha Yogananthan
Authors: Clément Chéroux - Agnès Sire
Publishers: Chose Commune - Fondation d'entreprise Hermès
" Mystery Street s’ouvre et s’achève sur des portraits d’enfants. Des enfants qui jouent, qui pensent et qui nous regardent. Des enfants en devenir. Pour sa première série nord-américaine, le photographe français Vasantha Yogananthan nous invite, le long d’un été, à (re)voir le monde à hauteur d’enfant.
Avec ce projet, Yogananthan revient vers la photographie documentaire tout en s’affranchissant de ses codes et en repoussant les limites du genre. Mystery Street fonctionne à la fois comme une conversation avec le réel et une échappée vers une multiplicité de récits possibles. Si cette série est principalement composée de portraits, genre de prédilection de Yogananthan, elle ne cherche pas à camper un tableau complet de La Nouvelle-Orléans. Sous le soleil brûlant de la Louisiane, l’œuvre s’appréhende comme une fable, esquissant la réalité tout en empruntant des chemins de traverse. Elle mêle observation des comportements humains et transfiguration de l’ordinaire.
Fragments d’un été qui se prolonge, Mystery Street donne à voir le strict minimum quant au lieu, au temps et à l’espace, conscient du poids que peuvent véhiculer les éléments figuratifs. Œuvrant à éviter toute surdétermination, ou à en interrompre le processus, le photographe invite les spectateurs à se laisser guider par leur propre imaginaire. Ce livre marque un renouveau dans la pratique de Yogananthan et pose un regard sur l’amitié, au croisement des corps et de leur environnement."
