Digital art manipulation limited edition 1/1 Photograph. Size 17717 × 10630 / 150 × 90 cm (59 W × 35,4 H ).
Rita Margono is a French multidisciplinary artist.
Her work is distinguished by photographs or photographic montage having as center a total darkness, which represents neither the void nor nothingness, but a space having reached the optimal saturation level. A space containing all the information what is given to see and about us. This black space invades, repels, transforms its environment. And though it swallows up all that surrounds it, what is left is even more present.
« I have always had a passion for painting, whereas I came to photography much later, and totally unexpectedly. I can’t choose between the two so I combine and blend both mediums in photo montages. Painting has always seemed to me like a form of introspection - a way of internalising the world and the way we perceive it. It is an interpretation. With photography, despite all the planning, the technical aspects and the equipment, there is always a gap between what we have in our mind and what is captured by the lens. This frustration is intrinsic to my work. So, with my montages and my juxtapositions, I integrate the spontaneity of photographs into a world and setting of my own creation ».
So-called “common” flowers occupy a very special place in this series. Frequently overlooked and sometimes considered undesirable, they grow back again each year in the same place, provided that a few of them remain to live on. I am fascinated by them, I showcase them in an atmosphere that is both intriguing and disturbing, but also intimate and meditative, in order to show their clean lines in all their simplicity, and I rearrange them until I create an entity that is both strong and yet fragile, beautiful and yet repulsive.
