For Marguerite Bornhauser, color is not only the subject or axis of her work, but a way of perceiving, revisiting, and representing the world. During her various projects, she follows a process of selection, isolation, and amplification of color, thus emphasizing the chromatic potential of her images. Marguerite Bornhauser pays particular attention to the possibilities offered by the juxtaposition, sequencing of images, and the way they occupy space. Her use of diptychs - whether her photographs are joined, in the case of editorial work, to form a fold-out or are hung in large format on the walls of exhibition halls - has become an essential dimension of his practice. This approach reminds us of how color can resonate not only from one image to another, but also from one place or moment to another. In Retour à la poussière, Marguerite Bornhauser continues her exploration of color and texture, with a new focus on climate change and the impact of temperature variations on our planet. She experiments with different media and supports, including analogue photography and glass painting, to create a series of one-of-a-kind photographs that capture the beauty and fragility of our natural environment. Each image is a testament to the artist's keen eye and her ability to see our contemporary world in a way that is both vivid and raw, yet always infused with a poetic vision of everyday life.
