Chrystel Lebas: Presence, Untitled 30, Risnjak, Kupa, 2010
Often using a panoramic camera with long exposure times ranging from two to six hours, Lebas creates sweeping, mesmerising landscapes, which explore photography’s relationship with time and movement. ‘Walking alone in the forest recording close-up scenes or tableaux, I attempted to reveal the hidden side of nature, the nature we have glorified, forgetting its real harshness and purpose, questioning man’s relationship with the natural environment and man’s response to a lost wilderness’Limited edition prints of all the images are available to purchase through the Photographers’ Gallery
