The gallery at the Leica Store Vienna is showing and selling pictures from the 'Silenzio! Mémoires de cinema' series by François Fontaine. Through April 16, 2016.
Memories of cinema
Born in 1968, the Oskar Barnack Award finalist (for the Lost in China series, 2006) used an analogue Leica CM between 2011 and 2012 to photograph scenes of famous films from the forties till today, directly off a screen. The pictures are kept deliberately blurry. The aim is for the viewer to grapple with the truth of what he or she sees – the associative perception of memory and reality.
