An opportunity to access a unique gallery housed in two converted garages in Brighton & see the work of French artist Pierre-Yves Brest. Although Brest is an established artist, this is his first exhibition in Brighton.

Brest's practice includes photography, video and photo-based installation. His work is frequently constructed from a series of images, each dedicated to the study of a particular situation or location. Through a strategy of invisibility, absence and silence, Brest invites us to reflect on our relationship to time, to history & to changes in our world.
Brest lives in Lille and works at La Malterie. Since 2001 he has been a lecturer at École supérieure d'art de Cambrai.

A talk on photographic practice and concepts with Pierre-Yves Brest and Photolanguage. Photolanguage, an art practice collaboration between Nigel Green and Robin Wilson, was established in 1998. It's aim is to develop experimental methods for the documentation of architecture and landscape, and to engage with institutional contexts through specifically sited curateorial and publication projects.

My film "Opus Incertum" is presented by Nathalie Poisson-Cogez Thursday the 26th / 1.30 pm at Ecole supérieure des arts Saint-Luc / Liège (B)

Le travail photographique de Pierre-Yves Brest se joue des formats, des supports comme d'un sujet ou d'une situation qui s'afficherait de manière trop évidente. Rien n'est livré de prime abord dans ces journaux d'images, ces affiches, ces tirages soigneusement encadrés ou encore dans ces plans fixes vidéo... Malgré l'apparente hétérogénéité des ensembles d'images, le visiteur attentif décèlera toutefois des récurrences, des réminiscences, il repèrera des passages. L'originalité du travail réside vraisemblablement dans cette instabilité mise en images, dans le silence obstiné des choses photographiées comme dans le souhait d'échapper à l'assoupissement des regards. Cette exposition qui rassemble une décennie de pratique de l'image se présente ainsi comme une invitation à cheminer... avec patience, curiosité et joyeuse prudence.
