Biography

Cédric Dasesson is a Cagliari (Italy) based artist who came to photography and conceptual art starting from studies in architectural science.

His photographic concept is divided into two styles, two different ways to research.

The first one is oriented to architecture, redefining the contemporary perception aimed to deny space in its entirety. He tries to isolate urban and natural elements offered by the environment. The use of essential lines leads to show the depth of view by telling texture, light and color, bringing this quest for peace and tranquility to the visitor who hears the narration.

The second photographic vision comprises a hierarchy of divine figures. Represented by the forces and by the human aspects of mythological society, it expresses a kind of life characterized by a strong and determined vision, as a Renaissance painting.

In the field of conceptual art, he expresses the notion of fluidity, using plastic sheeting, easily creating places for imagining a new nature which does not exist, creating streams. The project is called “plastic shores" and it is the creation of water environments which suggests a not-natural immersion in nature thanks to the sound made by the wind which moves the plastic.

“It’s about feelings between dream and imagination, transparent and ethereal, those that eschew from contemporary perceptions which deny space in its entirety. It’s a space composed of urban elements, wrapped by the breath of nature in which a stream of stopped people is looking for a way to escape: the sea. The rocks, static elements by definition, are removed and printed in an instant. They become the objective correlative of human identity, a mirror in which the individual is reflected through eye contact. "

With the scenery of the Sardinian coast, Cédric Dasesson tells of natural elements, isolating them and describing their geometry. Using the technique of "long exposure”, each element of the landscape receives and returns the light in all its forms, as if the environment did not exist. Through the adoption of white, Cédric Dasesson creates shapes outlined in the infinite, producing in the observer a feeling of extreme solitude.
