Winner of the 2012 HSBC Prize for Photography, the Franco-British artist Leonora Hamill captures, in her series « Art in Progress », empty spaces of collective art practice.
« I photograph the studios in Art in Progress, when the students have just left or will be returning shortly and the collective energy is palpable. In this case I think the idea of the other is heightened by his/her absence. The space condenses the passage of time, the passage of students, of their labour and of their hopes ».

It’s nostalgic but more in the evocation of the childhood fragility and it’s also sensual, disturbing and a little bit magical…
L’univers d’Aëla Labbé nous a envouté. Pas seulement par le traité passéiste que l’on peut croiser souvent, mais plus pour son étrange mélancolie pouvant même parfois “mettre mal à l’aise”. C’est nostalgique, mais plus par la fragilité de l’enfance que l’on retrouve dans ses images et c’est aussi sensuel, poétique, dérangeant et un peu magique….
