Biography
Claude Philippe Benoit began working as a professional artist in the early 1980s, initially as director of photography in the movie industry. In 1983, he co-founded AXENÉO7, a artist-run center in Hull (today, Gatineau), with the goal of providing the visual arts community in Outaouais region a place to host and exhibit contemporary art. In 1986, he also co-founded DAÏMÔN, a production center for the media arts. [2] [3]
The works of Claude-Philippe Benoit can be found in many museums and galleries, both private and not-for-profit, as well as in numerous private and public collections.
In 2016, Les Éditions Cayenne published a monograph on his work in photography. [4]
Work
All the artist’s photographic work is produced using gelatine silver process. The photographs are often assembled in diptychs or triptychs that are sometimes grouped with a three-dimensional element such as an abstract or colour photograph, as in the series entitled Chapitre Ô-NU or the series Intérieur, jour.[5] Claude-Philippe Benoit has also designed installations that include sculpture, e.g. Le noir et son double (1986) and Apparition et absence (1989). [6][7]
A marked characteristic of the locations that Claude-Philippe Benoit chooses to photograph is the absence of humans, although human activity is frequently evoked.[4] His first series of photographs, L’envers de l’écran, un tourment photographique, focused on movie theaters after the public had left and the projectors had been turned off. [7][8]
In the series Intérieur, jour, the untamed nature of the rain forest is juxtaposed with various interior scenes, including factory workshops. [9]
Les Lieux maîtres comprises four series that focus on certain places which are emblematic of the exercise of power and the social status of the powerful. The series are entitled Chapitre Ô-NU, Chapitre… du prince, L’étoffe du prince et son éternité, En cour, pour un oui pour un non, and for them, the artist travelled to United Nations headquarters in New York, where he photographed conference rooms, offices, courtrooms, along with workshops of tailors whose principal clients are rich Parisians. [4][10][11]
In Société de ville, the urban landscapes depict a city devoid of human inhabitants but filled with autumn vegetation. [12]
