In 2002, when Jean-François Rauzier created his first hyper-photographs, he was already an established photographer in search of a new creative method that would differ considerably from the traditional model. He strove to capture “the panorama and the macro view all at once, to stop the time and to have the possibility of viewing all the details of a static image”. Rauzier’s works transform the reality, they fascinate with their scale, and take their viewer on a journey through the visible world. In Rauzier uses thousands of high-resolution close-ups views and collages them into monumental pictures thus maintaining the focus and sharpness of the smallest detail. Rauzier carefully composes each element, creating his own supernatural man-made world. Using digital technologies, he cuts, moves and constructs tree-trunks, branches, leaves and many other objects carefully collected during long photographic sessions to inspire a new fantastic landscape, a capricious picture or a baroque masterpiece. He weaves a magical space, to embody surreal visions, to lead the viewer past the fantasy. He strives to transform the world according to his dreams, wishes and anxieties, and to recreate the magic and secrecy of ancient legends and stories using 21st century media.
