Caura Barszcz
Photography
When the matter is a color and the color is a matter, both are poetry
The passage of time plays with a wreck,
revealing a composition of vibrant colors
which continuously changes
Caura was born and raised in Paris. A city where she still lives with her family and works. She balances her time between
journalism and photography, travelling extensively throughout the world.
In France, she often goes to Saint Malo, Brittany Coast's city, where she finds peace and inspiration.
Tempus is a collection of Caura Barszcz's photography. Tempus is a Latin word meaning time.
The series expresses the passage of time, studying a wreck that was slowly falling apart on a quay in Saint Malo. The place was peacefull and lonely. At first, you could not see anything
there. However, when the sun light was out, colors attracted your eye and never let it go.
The artist went there to take pictures for several years and several times a year to capture the end of this small fishing wooden boat until it was
totally falling apart and was removed from there.
She didn't choose the facility with a wide angle shot. She preferred focusing on the material with its deep colors and its transformation
through the passing of rain, salt from the sea and wind. Tempus tells a story of life.
