Le Hors has produced four silver gelatin prints to benefit Printed Matter. The series of images, titled “Patterned Standards,” explore a variety of physical and in-camera manipulations, as Le Hors overlays polka-dotted fabric and photographs with multiple exposures. Each 9 x 12” image has been produced in an edition of 25.
Pierre Le Hors (b. 1981 in France) is a photographer who uses abstracted still lives as subject. He selectively singles out an aspect of an image, such as a pattern, and focuses on it in order to dislodge it from its place within the hierarchy of the image. By doing so, Le Hors aims to obscure the relationship between signifier and subject. In his own words, “ I want these images to speak to a certain loss of innocence for the young medium of photography, as it enters an age still grappling with notions of subjectivity and photographic truth.” Le Hors’s book, Firework Studies was published by Hassla in 2011. His work has been included in exhibitions at Dashwood Books and CCNY. Le Hors lives and works in Brooklyn New York.
