从巴黎到莫斯科，从纽约到上海……弗罗丽安•德•拉塞带着她的大画幅相机在各大城市的楼顶捕捉当地迷人的城市夜景。
这些作品大都选择在夜晚进行拍摄。她的作品让我们沉醉于夜晚巴黎柔和与朦胧的灯光里，置身于莫斯科魅惑迷幻的色彩中，被东京、上海那炫目摩登的气氛包围着。夜幕下的这些城市演绎着一幕幕动人的奇幻故事。弗罗丽安静候在一旁，细心地观察并捕捉下隐藏在窗后的那些稍纵即逝的瞬间。她记录下人们被那些玻璃窗、混凝土阻隔与吞噬时的状态与他们心中那份挥之不去的孤寂。有时她会像一个若隐若现的影子显现在某个场景中，由此，摄影师成为了这些生动的并带有一些女性主义色彩照片的真实主体。
每张作品都像是一幅浑若天成的连体画，前景与远景完美的融为一体，没有刻意的设计或雕琢，风格内敛又不失个性。一些孤独的身影呈现在维美的前景中，或许最终她会发现，原来她也只是这些远景的一部分。灯火通明的城市中，夜空被炫目的灯光划破。这种张力来自于同一场景中对立共存的事物：内在与外在的，光明与黑暗的，孤独与繁华的，单调与丰富的，空虚与充溢的，静止与运动的，沉默与喧嚣的……
出生于巴黎的弗罗丽安•德•拉塞先后毕业于巴黎高等室内建筑及广告设计艺术学院(Penninghen/ESAG)与纽约国际摄影中心 (ICP, New York City)。她的作品《夜》曾于2005年荣获美国摄影界新闻杂志特等奖，随后此系列作品在巴黎、纽约、莫斯科等地展出。2006年6月至2007年间，她的作品入选参展阿尔勒国际摄影节。
弗罗丽安•德•拉塞将在本次展览期间留居北京并全身心投入到她新作品的拍摄过程中。2009年，这些在北京拍摄的新作品将会再次在巴黎•北京摄影空间展出。
From Paris to Moscow, from New York to Shanghai, Floriane de Lassée takes her large format camera to the top of the roofs, where she captures the atmosphere of the city.
Taken by night, her photographs lead us to the enchanting atmosphere of Paris soften lights, Moscow warm colors, or to the electric ambiances of Tokyo and Shanghai. The night-time city is the theatrical scene of singular moments. Behind their window, in the intimacy of their apartment, anonymous individual are caught by her regard. Floriane de Lassée captures intimate moments as an indiscrete spectator; she witnesses their silent solitude in this ocean of glass and concrete. Sometimes she appears in the frame as a transparent almost immaterial silhouette; thus the artist becomes the subject and the author of these graphic and feminine pictures.
Every image is a natural diptych – with no artifice or retouching – juxtaposing a calm, intimate, Apollonian foreground in which there is an isolated figure, as if having found itself at last, and a background featuring the teeming, Dionysian city, illuminated by ocelli of light scattered through the darkness. The tension comes from the coexistence, in one and the same landscape, of a series of opposites: inside and outside, light and darkness, solitude and multiplicity, flatness and relief, emptiness and fullness, immobility and movement, silence and noise, identity and anonymity.
Born in Paris, Floriane de Lassée is graduated from Penninghen/ESAG School of Design (Paris) and from the School of the International Center of Photography (ICP, New York City). In 2005, she won the Grand Prize in the US Photo District News magazine (PDN) with her night views series and then was exhibited in Paris, New York and Moscow. In July 2006 and 2007, her works were part of the “Voies Off” selection of the Arles Photography Festival.
Floriane de Lassée will be in residency in Beijing during the time of her exhibition to compose the Beijing - Inside Views. These photographic series will be exhibited at the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery in spring 2009.
