Serge Picard Represented by Gallery VU' Serge Picard explores in various technical approaches the possibilities and limits of photogaphy, its production, its time, its decomposition, its space, its eternisation of faces. Going from portrait to landscape, from nude to studies of materials, from colour to black and white, from Fresson printing to Polaroid negative, he treats his objects with deepness without ceasing to want to know better what is the photography in itself.

 | Edges of the world, France (2001) Landscapes from the "Edges of the world", between the land and sea which they explore, could have been realized with a calotype by a contemporary photographer of Gustave Le Gray. But it has been realized nowadays, with their fine greys, stability of the space always shut in a closed frame, organized auround the skyline in the perfect rules of classic composition. Those landscapes push us at the limit of romanticism, in a slow and heavy time, only animated by winter lights. |
 | Sponte Sua (2000) Serge Picard's photographs are illustrating Nathalie Papin's text...like Nathalie's Papin's text is illustrating Serge Picard's photographs. In these pictures, we found a research work on the photographic aesthetic : bodies are material at the disposal of the author...a bit like words are the first material for writing. |
 | Memories of liquid days (2000) Dreamlike metaphor of human being in town |
 | Dunkerque (2000) |
 | Beaubourg, the Parisian museum (1999) The tray that shelters the Parisian museum, wanted by president Pompidou, was a hot issue when built at the end of the years seventies. Serge Picard walks along with his camera, making little difference between the exhibited artworks and the architecture of Renzo Piano and richard Rogers... between the centre itself and the people that are going there. |
Books
 | Sponte Sua Sponte Sua (de son propre mouvement) nous entraîne dans un univers de visages et de corps, comme suspendus, hésitants, entre plusieurs réalités. «Ces portraits frémissent d’une vie toute particulière. Ils reflètent, en effet, toute l’ambiguïté du genre : le “bougé” qui les caractérise, réintègre toute la présence du sujet photographié. [...] Le trouble qui émane de ces portraits pourrait correspondre à une dérobade, une fuite du sujet». Nathalie Luyer - Vis à Vis International. Devant ces images décalées, Nathalie Papin nous propose une traversée imaginaire aux côtés de ces «acteurs» impalpables, devenus sous sa plume un cortège étonné.
