EAU (KIMURA POIRIER EDIT NO.1)

Eau is both the subject and the object of Patricia Schwoerer’s photographs as she records the subtle waterlines on its surface. It is water for its physical matter that interests the photographer here. For it is a molecule, a simple element yet a whole presence. Naked and devoid of reference and evocation, water invents its own motives that photography captures. Calm, a burst of kinetic and calm again. A supple object where each page flows onto the next. Laid out from both ends, its rhythmic ondulations return to silence and the end is a new beginning.
