According to Robin Lopvet, photography can only be considered through its own transformation. For this young artist from the Vosges, a prodigy of digital retouching, the mutant image increases his powers tenfold and opens up a free world whose limits he alone determines. Animals, friends and entourage, situations, Robin Lopvet invents his own language to describe a parallel reality populated by creatures sometimes frightening and sometimes hallucinating. He invites us and insidiously questions us on the powers and the duplicity of the image in a system governed by the Internet and by the infinite possibilities of creation and diffusion offered by the digital. Behind the lightness of a collective delirium or the virality of a hijacked dog picture, it is the most serious issues of our society based on the image and its flows that this exhibition raises with these photographic detour.
