Signature "Our Son, My Moon"

Movement. Colors. Figures. David Meskhi's images follow one another like fragments extracted from a leap, an effort, an impulse. At very high speed, between chance and intuition, the photographer captures an extraordinary variation of bodies sculpted by light and weightlessness. The athletes, immobilized in their flights, are captured in an infinite time of pause. The leaps become astronauts' pauses, the ascents of the dives defying gravity. Sometimes, a waltz of hair, a triangular hand and foot falling into the blue water, a pair of outstretched legs; all seem to be part of the same cosmos. The one that is reflected in the stars scattered over a few pages, the silhouette of the moon as an absolute choreographer thinning out the rhythms.

Co-edition between Editions Light Motiv and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Saint-Etienne Métropole, and to indicate that the exhibition of David Meskhi's work at the MAMC+ is still ongoing until March 16, 2025.
