About
Aggregate of plastic arts, Eric Manigaud, historian, unearths the first scientific photographs testifying to a repressed past (first world war etc) and proposes to reveal the dark side by the use of the pencil and the graphite , as a designer. If the artist by means of a projection by the magic lantern endeavors to copy his drawing on the photograph, thus promoting, by this at first glance mimetic representation, a certain confusion of the mediums, his creative enterprise is not reducible to a simple transcription operation. By using graphite, it reinforces the effect of reality, thus giving a certain density to the shade and thus offering these individuals the thickness allowing them to take shape. But through this technique and the gesture associated with it, he also sketches the wavering contours of the shadow, attempting to represent a transitory space between light and darkness, life and death, the representation of these individuals who seem to be in an in-between. ontological thus borders on unreality.

Agrégé d'arts plastiques, Eric Manigaud, en historien, exhume les premières photographies scientifiques témoignant d'un passé refoulé (première guerre mondiale etc) et se propose d'en révéler la part d'ombre par l'usage du crayon et du graphite, en dessinateur. Si l'artiste au moyen d'une projection par la lanterne magique s'emploie à calquer son dessin sur la photographie, favorisant ainsi, par cette représentation à première vue mimétique, une certaine confusion des mediums, son entreprise de création n'est pas réductible à une simple opération de retranscription. Par le recours à la mine de plomb, il renforce l'effet de réel, conférant ainsi une certaine densité à l'ombre et offrant ainsi à ces individus l'épaisseur leur permettant de prendre corps. Mais par cette technique et le geste qui lui est associé, il esquisse aussi les contours vacillants de l'ombre, tentant de figurer un espace transitoire entre lumière et obscurité, vie et mort, la figuration de ces individus qui semblent dans un entre-deux ontologique confine ainsi à l'irrée.
