Blaise Adilon - The Symphony of the Old World

The Symphony of the Old World explores time and space by moving beyond the frozen instant of photography. Created through the superimposition of images from different places and temporalities, the works form a stratification of reality in which an older image emerges beneath a more recent one, like a persistent memory.

From this encounter arises an intermediate reality, both dreamlike and sensory, where the boundaries between memory, perception, and imagination become porous. The image no longer seeks only to represent the visible, but to reveal the afterimages, absences, and silent persistences that run through our experience of time, in a contemplative experience of seeing.

Resolutely focused on landscape, the series brings forth an “old world” traversed by traces of a fragile time. The beauty of these places is intertwined with a sense of gradual disappearance. Without being overtly didactic, these images evoke contemporary ecological upheavals, the erosion of environments, and the irreversible transformations affecting our surroundings, opening a space for reflection on the memory of landscapes, transmission, and the necessity of preserving what remains alive.
