Issue 386 July 20, 2010

Jérôme Revon, one of France's top TV producers and directors for sports and news programming, has turned his award-winning visual talent to photography to capture the energy of metropolises like Paris and New York in a unique large photographic format called "Splits." A new genre of photographic art, "Splits," was developed to juxtapose unexpected images of familiar monuments (think Tour Eiffel, Statue of Liberty) with images of everyday life and our urban environment (street scenes, yellow cabs, graffiti). This collision of images, two photographs cut into strips/panels and laid side-by-side, creates a new source of energy and also re-creates a moving image similar to the way you see moving images on TV or in a movie. His images reflect the urban cityscape because Revon is attracted to architectural elements from the towns and cities he visits. Some of these elements are very familiar to us, but Revon casts an entirely new light on them.
