ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

By MARTA GILI, DIREcTOR Of THE JEU DE PAUME, PARIs When looking at Valérie Jouve’s images it could be said that, like photography, the city is a territory of distances inhabited by the body: the body of the image and the image of the body.

In this sense, Jouve’s work evokes not so much the external body relating to our everyday actions but rather the great immaterial body that projects itself in space and onto things. “For”, as the philosopher Henri Bergson wrote, “if our body is the matter to which our consciousness applies itself it is coextensive with our conscious, it comprises all we perceive, it reaches to the stars*.”

In a simultaneously implacable and poetic exercise of taxonomy, Jouve terms the bodies that appear in her photographs “characters” or “passers-by”, while her similarly nameless urban spaces are “the street”, “situations” or “trees”. As a result, the artist deconstructs the hierarchy of both the terms for and the representation of these bodies and these cities and their urban landscapes, thus revealing the tension between the multiple distances inhabited, given that they are emotional, social, cultural, economic and political distances. Valérie Jouve’s body of images thus concedes a privileged place in the world to the human body, since her perception of it extends beyond its own actions and encompasses other bodies, destinations and places, “reaching to the stars”.

* Henri Bergson, The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932), trans. R. Ashley Audra and Cloudesley Brereton, Notre Dame, Indiana: Notre Dame Press, 1977, p. 258.

The quote is taken from the foreword of the catalogue of the exhibition, Valérie Jouve. Bodies, Resisting co-edition Jeu de Paume / Filigranes, 2015.

THE HIGHLIGHTs Of THE EXHIBITION

This first monographic exhibition by Valérie Jouve comprises numerous photographs and films made over the last twenty-five years.

This is the first presentation of Blues, a work created specifically for the exhibition.

In her exploration of the relationship between people's bodies and urban spaces, Valérie Jouve brings a poetic and political eye to the issues raised by changes in society today.

Jouve's work registers the tensions between urban space and the people in it. The classic subjects of landscape and portrait are brought together in a way that draws splendidly choreographed scenes out of the intensity of urban situations.

Valérie Jouve seeks to offer the viewer not compassion, but action. She is sometimes moved to anger by people's resignation.

Visitors are invited to move through the exhibition in a way that makes them active participants.

With its roots in mise en scène, Jouve's work lies somewhere between fiction and documentary. Her oeuvre is founded in an exploration of the ability of images to reveal a reality experienced by all.

VALÉRIE JOUVE's PHOTOGRAPHIc AND fILM WORK Is ROOTED IN THE ALcHEMy BETWEEN BODIEs AND sPAcE, HUMANITy AND THE URBAN LANDscAPE. TITLED BODIES, RESISTING, THIs EXHIBITION AT THE JEU DE PAUME OffERs A sUBsTANTIAL sELEcTION Of WORKs fROM THE LATE 1980s UP TO THE PREsENT DAy.

Born in Saint Etienne in 1964 and now living in Paris, Valérie Jouve studied anthropology before enrolling

at the National School of Photography in Arles. Now a photographer and filmmaker, she is part of that

generation of French artists which has moved away from the great humanist tradition without completely

rejecting its fundamental concerns.

Her photographs and films draw as much on contemporary art and creative documentary as on

anthropology and sociology. In their combined portrayal of people in motion and buildings, they explore

physical presence in cities and ways of living in space. The classic subjects of landscape and portrait are

brought together in a way that draws splendidly choreographed scenes out of the intensity of urban

situations.

THE EXHIBITION

8

The ambiguity and deliberate indeterminacy of her photographic compositions is underscored by her use of

the designation Untitled. These open-ended bodies of images are added to by the artist over time, and each

is identified by a generic subtitle in parentheses: Characters, Facades, Passers-by, The Street, Situations, Trees,

and so on.

The Jeu de Paume selection covers more than twenty years of Jouve's work. The exhibition itinerary sets

up a tension between these still images and a series of films looking at the city and its margins, ranging

from Grand Littoral and Traversée to the artist's new work, Blues. Created especially for the exhibition,

Blues speaks to us of the abuse of power by countries and people. Jouve went to Guatemala to film and

photograph changes to the landscape induced by the practices of those the local Indians call gringos.

Comprising sequences of films, photographs, texts and sounds, the work revolves around Tania Carl, a French

blues singer who has opted for living in Guatemala.

Jouve has approached the presentation of Bodies, Resisting as if it were a musical composition, imbued with a

momentum that makes the viewer a participant.

I'm trying to conjure up a kind of intensity I feel in living things . . . I'm working on inhabiting a space and I hope viewers come to experience that space through the images. Valérie Jouve

The bodies in Jouve's images are dwelt in by the space they traverse, sometimes being rendered machine-like

by the repetition of everyday acts. Situations, Itineraries and Leaving the Office illustrate the mechanics of

bodies moving from an interior to a public space.

The artist's eye calls up a powerful resistance to the impersonal norms of the territory in question, of these nameless subjects silently given names by the voice dwelling in the images. Marie-José Mondzain

In Valérie Jouve's work urban and periurban spaces are built-up, leaving no room for earth. Some of her

images are of implacably geometrical generic sites, while others show human beings on a human scale, as an

active force within the city and a call to action. Because she feels living beings as disconnected from an all-absorbing, not to say stifling, reality. . . . Most of these figures – these men and women – abruptly break into the deep flow of the exhibition. . . . Her explorations take place on the side of resistance, strength and presence – of what she calls "being there". . . . She urges us towards a "shift" away from our habits and perceptions – and our resignation. Arlette Farge

THE EXHIBITION BODIES, RESISTING IS A SIGNIFICANT SELECTION OF VALÉRIE JOUVE'S WORK FROM THE LATE 1980S UP TO THE PRESENT. IT PLAYS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE IMAGES AND THE EXHIBITION SPACE AND ON THEIR RECIPROCAL INTERACTION. HERE THE ARTIST SETS OUT TO SHARE THE PHYSICALITY OF HER IMAGES WITH THE SPECTATOR IN AN EXHIBITION PERMEATED BY PHOTOGRAPHIC PRESENCES.

THROUGH THESE PHOTOGRAPHS, MOST OF THEM TAKEN WITH A LARGE-FORMAT VIEW CAMERA, AND HER 16MM FILMS, JOUVE EVOKES EUROPEAN PLACES IN STATES OF ONGOING CHANGE. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS SHE HAS ALSO FOCUSED ON THE MIDDLE EAST AND CENTRAL AMERICA. IN ALL HER WORK WE SEE HUMAN PRESENCE RESISTING THE CLASSIFICATION AND STANDARDISATION IMPOSED BY ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS.

VALÉRIE JOUVE'S PHOTOGRAPHY COMPRISES BODIES OF IMAGES THAT MAKE UP AN OPEN-ENDED WHOLE. THE ARTIST ADDS TO THEM FROM TIME TO TIME, LACONICALLY DESIGNATING THEM "UNTITLED" AND PROVIDING A GENERIC SUBTITLE IN PARENTHESES: ChaRaCTERS, FaCaDES, PaSSERS-BY, ThE STREET, SITUaTIONS, TREES AND SO ON.

These Characters are the most striking motifs in Valérie Jouve's work. The first of them appear mainly in staged scenes, adopting distinctive, assertive poses that represent alternative ways of living in the city.These are not portraits, but rather the outcome of close collaboration between artist and model on a shared idea. The Characters embody a kind of physical freedom in a constricting urban environment. They are Characters because they make things happen, in the sense that their presence changes the context they appear in. Something takes place between a body and a space, in an alchemy captured by the artist.

Facades has less to do with urban anonymity than with a study of the spatial organisation of the contemporary city and the tensions generated by town planning. Even so, these images remain steeped in the activity of the living. For these facades and walls Jouve adopts a tight frontal focus, sometimes homing in on marks and cracks that cover them like wrinkles indicating the passing of time; she is out to reveal the strata in the construction of urban space. Seen from a point of view that abolishes all perspective, the cellular structures of her buildings seem to merge into a single plane, as if in an abstract painting.

Jouve's less numerous Situations signal an urge to capture places where urban density alters the relationships between bodies. These works are often the result of a meticulous montage of different New York scenes including traffic jams, the subway, social security offices and passers-by in front and back view. The artist uses accumulation to build up a representative image of an actual moment which the classical photographic approach cannot convey. Far from simply settling for what the lens sees, then, she shapes her images out of a deep response to reality.

Like the Characters, the Figures are produced by mise en scène, but they differ in being full-length portraits. These individuals seem to be at one with the space they are in. Lost in thought, they offer the viewer a focus for mental projection. In their play on mise en abyme, the Figures summon the viewer to reflect on his or her own experience of spatiality.

In this area of the exhibition the artist suggests a connection with other "body" forms. Vertical and deep-rooted, her Trees are also living bodies bearing witness to the passing of time. They are a means for the author to address the issue of territorial management and pursue her quest for a world that resists the economic powers that be.

ROOM 2 LIKE THE FIRST ROOM, THIS ONE PLUNGES US INTO AN URBAN WORLD, BUT ONE THAT ALSO INCLUDES LaNDSCaPES, TREES, FIGURES aND PaSSERS-BY. THESE MORE RECENT IMAGES MARK A CHANGE IN THE ARTIST'S WORK. WHILE STILL FUELLING HER REFLECTIONS ON THE CITY – THAT EMBLEMATIC LOCUS OF HUMAN PROJECTION TOWARDS THE FUTURE – IT ADOPTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE BODIES ENFOLDS THE SPACE THEY OCCUPY.

" Each person, each thing, manifests an astonishing singularity with a logic of its own, generating the history of a city at the same time as the fast-motion narrative of a singular character ensnared within it. "

Arlette Farge, 2015

"Trees are people – although certainly not like those who are the focus of specific series. While not posing, they remain motionless, or almost. There they stand, embedded in the ground in defiance of encroaching concrete."

Marie-José Mondzain, 2015

Valérie Jouve's first film, Grand Littoral was shot in Marseille, where she lived for ten years. Begun in 2001 and finished in 2003, this is a journey evoking what the artist calls "the power of the living".

The second film, Traversée (Journey, 2012), is a kind of "childlike road movie" through six Palestinian cities. While travelling in 2008, Jouve discovered Israel and the autonomous Palestinian territories. Fascinated, she began a long film and photography project centring on people's everyday lives. In 2010 she made this film with her own money, improvising on a unique relationship between a Palestinian puppeteer and a young French girl.

ROOM 3 THE WORKS IN THE THIRD ROOM TESTIFY TO A RECEPTIVENESS TO MUCH VASTER SPACES. THE HORIZON CLEARS, AND THE TERRITORY CONCERNED IS IDENTIFIED, NOTABLY THROUGH THE USE OF CINEMA. EARLY IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM VALÉRIE JOUVE BEGAN FILMING IN 16MM BUT HAS TURNED MORE RECENTLY TO THE MINIDV FORMAT. HER FILMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS EXPLORE WORKING CLASS SUBURBS, CITIES, BROWNFIELDS AND VACANT LOTS AS RECURRING THEMES.

TRAVERsÉE, 2012. film 16 mm, 18 min

The "Grand Littoral" is a highly singular place, like all those places with a weighty history and a geology that imposes its own set of rules. For me it has always embodied Michel Foucault's notion of the heterotopia, the place of unlimited possibilities. In 1995 one of Europe's biggest shopping malls moved in here, and I followed the process with my camera from the start. Even before the immense project was in place, the site raised issues of centeredness, and belonging, but also of the need for cavities, for emptiness. The film became necessary. It is structured around the idea of a space-time not defined by the voids that surround everything. Each bodily movement I asked for from the actors – it would be more accurate to call them Characters – follows a simple logic of dialogue with a space, from which comes meaning: one's own space and the space of otherness. Valérie Jouve, 2003Excerpt from the text by Valérie Jouve in the catalogue Grand Littoral (Marseille: Ateliers de la Ville de Marseille/École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, 2003).

This journey is structured by a quirky, unlikely trio: a girl child, a puppeteer and a puppet, the latter's unconscious double. The relationship is tender but conflictual. These two characters are not the film's protagonists, but something much more: the territory's go-betweens, putting human relationships on the line – outside the straightforward context of conflict – as a way of recreating the reality of life there; life with its clashes, but with its moments of tenderness and laughter as well; a land whose reality is stripped of tragedy, a kind of small utopia, even if the tragedy can resurface in order not to be denied.

The Landscapes are present from the outset in the Jouve oeuvre. In this series she uses a distancing effect to reveal the historical aspect of the landscapes she is photographing.

LANDscAPEs

Unlike the other images, all taken with a large-format view camera, Passers-by is the product of a small 24 x 36 mm model. Jouve chose her field of vision and took her pictures as people crossed it. Each image shows a single passer-by, so sometimes a resonance is set up between the intensity of the figure and the space it is traversing. In contrast with the Characters, the Passers-by merge perfectly with their urban backdrop. These are unknowns photographed during their daily crossings of the city; they represent no particular state of awareness and seem no more than parts of some big, mechanical ballet.

"The vast landscapes, their aspect simultaneously pervaded by serenity and disquiet, reveal a force so potent that living there involves life and staunch resistance in equal parts."

In the first of these two rooms are photographs backed up by sound and text; in the second visitors can watch a work comprising seven film sequences.

The texts are for the most part quotations from three sources: extracts from letters written by local Indians to the American government in the 19th century; texts on racial exploitation; and more generally, texts prefiguring global capitalism as we know it today. The images merge with the exhibition space in a dialogue with the written and spoken elements. The voice of Tania, a character in the work whom the artist has been photographing since 2008, is the embodiment of the rawness of the blues, and a certain poetic quality emanates both from this voice and from her presence.
