Pascal Hausherr
Photographe
Pascal Hausherr est photographe. Il s’affirme dans les années 1990 par une photographie alliant auto-fiction et mise en scène. À partir des années 2000, son travail s’oriente vers une documentation subjective des limites politiques, sociales, économiques de la France. Ses oeuvres sont conservées à la BnF, au Musée Carnavalet, à la MEP. Il a publié deux livres aux éditions Trans Photographic Press : De quoi demain (2009) et Encore (2012). Il figure en 2010 puis en 2018 pour sa troisième édition dans La photographie contemporaine de Michel Poivert (éditions Flammarion), et en 2019 dans 50 ans de photographie française de 1970 à nos jours de Michel Poivert (éditions Textuel).
Les Modernes
Pascal Hausherr
What is « modernity » if not having no other preoccupation but to straightforwardly face the object, daring to see what we see ? For that aim, the horizontal format of the photographs imposed itself, as well as a telephoto lens as photographic optic. And then, formulated from the outset, a title, a book, and a given time — this of the third covid 19 pandemy-linked lockdown, in 2021. What here acts, is the relationship between, the photographic space and reality, that is, the distance set between the operator and the object. To obtain a new image of reality is to speak of it in a renewed manner. Art in general and photography in particular are a matter of belief. There is an event when the object representation (the image) and the relationship to the subject (the spectator) are intertwined. At what point are we really engaging with History ?

Prospective
Pascal Hausherr
The prospective science, considered as the science of the the « man to come » by its founder Gaston Berger, aims, through a rational and holistic approach at preparing the futur of human being. The point of it isn’t to forecast the futur but to elaborate possible and impossible scenari through their perception of the moment on the basis of available data analysis, and understanding and accounting the socio-psychologic processes. Pascal Hausherr photographs composing this truly artistic body of work, seem to acknowledge the moment just before or after a certain idea of disaster, that one can’t name but feel. Are we facing the story of the intuition of what is to come ? One can also identify through this set of images a contemporary answer to No Small Journeys, by Robert Adams in the 1980s.
