RX&SLAG invites you to the gallery, to discover the work of photographer Elger Esser as part of PHOTODAYS, in parallel with PARISPHOTO.
For his third solo exhibition at RX&SLAG Paris, Franco-German photographer Elger Esser presents a series composed of photographs, heliogravures, and images on silvered copper—photographic techniques that have become the artist's emblematic signature over the years.
The result of a stay at the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel in 2022 and 2023, these 12 photographs explore the rocky fortress, the mysterious labyrinths, and the enchanting landscapes of the foreshore.
The photographer, who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf and with the Bechers, has been traversing France, its coastline, and its regions for 30 years to create a lyrical portrait of the country and its landscapes.
