“When I was little, lying on the floor at my grandmother’s house, I looked at the world upside down, I imagined myself as the ants and other insects walking on the ceiling, exploring a new inverted architecture” GLADYS
An unclassifiable artist, Gladys has continued to invent new spaces since the 1970s where reality blends with fiction. With an imagination constantly nourished by her surroundings, she has seized the photographic medium to create a singular and inventive body of work. In this first retrospective monograph, her black and white and color photographs interact through sequences and series, forming the self-portrait of a joyful artist in the history of French photography.
Offering a wide selection from his entire production, the book is accompanied by an analytical text on his work written by Matthieu Rivallin, assistant to the head of the photography department at the Médiathèque du patrimoine et de la photographie, the main partner in this production.
"Gladys is not a photographer; she has been experimenting and manipulating photographic material since the mid-1970s. Little by little, over the course of the series, she defines a line that she quickly veers towards something else. In the pages that follow, rather than seeking to rediscover a chronology of creation, new vis-à-vis are created and outline the artistic territory that Gladys has set herself the goal of exploring."
