S\u00e8te,<\/strong> 2013<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

C\u00e9dric Gerbehaye<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

This is S\u00e8te in winter. S\u00e8te in black and white, as C\u00e9dric Gerbehaye saw it.<\/p>\n

S\u00e8te is closely framed, and precisely. As though with a scalpel; or so one might say, were it not for the risk of giving the impression that there is something cold here, and dry. The formidable acuity of the eye is in effect qualified by the vibrations of the winter light, which reveals without exulting, and modulates without caressing. No small talk, verbiage, vapidity; no temptation to narrate, or to explicate. No road map.<\/p>\n

S\u00e8te in winter, in black and white, looked at in the most accurate manner possible, comes through as the opposite of the clich\u00e9s: a quest for sunshine, postcards, colour, excess, Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

The sea is as grey as the sky; and the birds, in becoming images, have taken on a blackish tint. Time is strangely heavy, and seems to have difficulty in passing. It stagnates in durations impossible to determine, in territories that allow the sea to appear in them, but not to spread across them. Without really hurting, S\u00e8te in winter is problematic, like a breakdown.
\nPerhaps S\u00e8te is hibernating. And those who live there seem to be on their own. Isolated. Even the dog and the cat are alone. Is this because the space, in the port and along the shore, and even on the canal, along which a solitary boat is gliding, is structured around the only lines that brighten or darken what comes down from the zenith, filtered by sky?<\/p>\n

S\u00e8te \u2013 more singular and enigmatic than ever, because we never, finally, want to see it or look at it in winter. But S\u00e8te, amazingly strong on its axes, its directions that capture the eye. Right up to the point where a wall or a shuddering facade, like a massive doubt, cannot be known to any further extent.<\/p>\n
