Par le biais<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A photographer with a sculptor’s eye, Jonathan Llense<\/strong> creates playful, unexpected images from found objects, transformed into precarious compositions that take on their full meaning in the instantaneous. Rather than a simple representation of reality, he creates serious jokes in which photography and sculpture merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Par le biais, Llense draws on his archives and, commissioned by the museum, composes an original portrait of the town of Le Locle, combining photographs, local stories and busts from the collection. Water becomes a common thread, structuring a trail of 28 \u201cfountains\u201d. Between clarity and murkiness, he invites us to take a fresh look, oscillating between humour and absurdity, in a free and irreverent spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1984, Jonathan Llense<\/strong> is a photographer and visual artist based in Paris. A graduate of the \u00c9coles des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes and the photography school in Arles, he exhibited at the IFAL Gallery of Mexico in 2014 after a residency in Mexico. That same year, he participated in the Inside\/Outside Territory<\/em> exhibition in Amsterdam. In 2016, he published L\u2019Heure du Tigre<\/em>, a work born from a residency at Paradou. He continued his career with several residencies and exhibitions, including at the UNSEEN Photo Fair and the Imago Lisboa Festival in 2019. In 2021, he published Uncertain Life & Sure Death<\/em>, and in 2023, his third book in the Fashion Eye<\/em>collection by Louis Vuitton. Llense collaborates with international magazines and prestigious brands and has been working with the J\u00f6rg Brockmann Gallery and TheLink Mgmt agency since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
