In her “built images”, Tania Mouraud refines the art of disrupting scales and plays with the potentials of the photographic medium. By staging short scenes in an outdoor setting, she creates spaces that encourage storytelling and fiction. Their forsaken, not to say pathetic, character conveys a kind of melancholy. Indeed, these black and white images point to a world that is on the edge of oblivion. Mouraud effectively and wittingly distances herself from her own work in this series of photographs, celebrating the poetry of modesty.
