Roselyne Titaud was invited artist at the Photographic Collection /SK Stiftung Kulktur as part of the first edition of the Artist Meets Archive programme.

Roselyne Titaud’s photographs show delicate snapshots of private living spaces, atmospheric still lifes and landscapes devoid of people, which immerse the beholder in the poetic dimension of these worlds in a now objectively neutral, now individually sensual way. It is not Titaud’s concern, in the process, to voyeuristically spy on the private and intimate, but rather to find her own visual vocabulary, which – citing the light dramaturgy of Dutch genre painters – is characterized by a curious, sometimes ironic, but always neutral gaze cast by the photographer. In the series that she has been working on since the 2000s she turns her gaze chiefly towards interiors, still lifes, objects and found arrangement that reflect nature and nature-inspired models in multiple ways. Everyday repertoire and individual archives, time reference and a great intuition for associated meanings are reflected in Roselyne Titaud’s work.

Processually, photography itself is inseparably linked with the notion of archiving. Simultaneously with the creation of an image of reality, the taking of photographs is also an opportunity to archive it, to record a trace of this reality.
