Janicot has previously exhibited in France, Belgium, England, South Africa and South America.The Lund exhibition is open on weekdays from 3 to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 5 p.m. — — — Category: press — <p><em style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17);">Måndagen den 29 oktober 1973</em></p> — Françoise Janicot presents an exhibition consisting of photographs deliberately reproduced in an amateurish manner, as well as photographic collages with clock springs and cogwheels attached to them.Most of the images show clocks that are no longer working and seem, in some elusive way, to deal with time and silence. These conceptualist visual experiments are entirely closed in on themselves; the clock faces are crossed with strips of adhesive tape, and in one image a woman’s face is bandaged into a kind of compulsory silence. The muteness is total. — — — Category: press — GALERIE S:T PETRI, S:t Petri kyrkogata 5, open Monday–Friday 3–8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 12–5 p.m.The French photographer Françoise Janicot presents a kind of “artless” photography, artless in the sense that it does not display conventional technical perfection. Instead, the photographs often appear deliberately awkward and may resemble amateur snapshots.The images are then carefully mounted on paper whose texture emphasises their character as evidence or clues. The paper seems to place the image in a laboratory setting. Hence the almost obscene character of the image, together with its amateurish quality.Almost all the photographs show street clocks in Paris, all of them out of order, marked by strips of adhesive tape crossed over their surfaces. In another image, a woman’s face is covered with bandages — in a manner similar to the bandaged clocks. In some way, the two are connected. Both seem, in a peculiar way, to have been silenced. — — — Category: docs — — — Category: docs — — — Category: docs — Self-published, Imprimerie G. P.
