{"product_id":"augustin-lignier-turning-point","title":"Augustin Lignier \/ Turning Point","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn a quest to performatively exhaust himself, Augustin Lignier reaches for the unreachable. “Turning Point” is an project that is equal parts obsession with a single movement and a poetic commentary on the act of image-making—or perhaps on living a life (you choose). Working at the intersection of photography and performance, Lignier undertakes the seemingly simple task of jumping and turning across a circle, aiming to land perfectly at the camera’s shutter. His tedious search for the perfect shot — where the gaze is right, the body is aligned, and the heel hovers just above the ground — offers a curious take on the decisive moment but also serves a surprisingly simple and apt metaphor for liminality, a space of change. Whether a response to the world or a self-reflection, this series sends you on a ride from a good laugh to anxiety, and back. The 60 images in the book out of 6,000 taken stand as a testament to photography’s eternal promise to capture the ephemeral and a psychological portrait of our ever-pursuing, ever-unsatisfied human nature. And as if that were not enough, Lignier doesn’t stop there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artpapereditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57800955855179,"sku":"260","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5122\/9640\/files\/augustin_01.jpg?v=1783589140","url":"https:\/\/artpapereditions.org\/products\/augustin-lignier-turning-point","provider":"Art Paper Editions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
