Dove Allouche (born in 1972, lives and works in Paris) proposes three series of works that all share an experience of time and space. Les Pétrifiantes (2012) shows the viewer the long sculpting process at work in subterranean sources; Spores (2014) captures the activity of microscopic mushrooms in the air; and lastly Pétrographies (2014) enables us to experience the invisible: transversal stalagmite cross sections create a dating system. What is generally hidden to the human eye suddenly becomes visible; an organic interiority whose life span goes beyond the human timescale. A practitioner of rare and complex techniques (heliogravure, physautotype…), Dove Allouche makes images that exist at the edges of photography, drawing and printmaking. These often abstract works playing on black and white contrasts find their origin in the physical domain, whether that includes scientific experiments or the documentation of natural phenomena in their most extreme incarnations (such as an active volcano) or most sublime states (the sky rent by lightning).
