Liquid Glass by Jean Bérard

 

Liquid glass, one of the most widely awarded series from Jean Bérard, emerges from an empirical, almost ludic, process in which, through trial and error, the image is revealed and constructed at the same time by two main elements: crystalline water and a diaphanous, glass object. It is by means of this craftsmanship and methodical construction that the photographer flows through a path located between chaotic action and controlled operation. When throwing the fluid, its shadows covers the object and modifies it, while assuming its shape and becoming an extension of it. The result of this mechanized, controlled, yet ungoverned and natural process is an aesthetic exploration based on the opposite use of the object. These photographs can mislead us to question our very perception of reality. And this is where the mystery and the magic of these images lies: where everything is reversed, since the role each element plays travels in opposite direction from its own nature. Thus, both container and content perform the function of the other.The prizes won by Liquid Glass are: silver medal at the PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris 2014, for the Advertising/Other_Ad; being included in the Top Country Pick selection and receiving honorable mention at the International Photography Awards Annual Competition 2012; the viral publication on photography and advertising specialized networks and web sites such as Empty Kingdom.
