Through photography, painting, video and installation, Anne Deleporte creates mixed-media visual “micro-situations.” Her collections of images emphasize the enigmatic quality of vision, while undoing photographic certitudes.

Beginning with pages of newsprint affixed to the wall, Deleporte creates “photo-frescoes” by painting out a majority of the information, leaving a celestial blue ground dotted with images. The floating images hang like constellations in a blue sky, pregnant with meaning but devoid of context.

Deleporte will also present Whistling, a video made with sunlight and wind, using the soundtrack of Fritz Lang’s movie M. In the installation as well as with the video, Deleporte tampers with the notion of copyright. The main mural has been filmed in the making and will be filmed again while being erased, generating a video, which uses the exhibition as a framework.

Deleporte has exhibited in Musee d’Art Moderne, Paris; The Drawing Center, New York; The New Museum, New York; Museo del Paco Imperial, Rio de Janeiro; Galerie Xippas, Paris; Hales Gallery, London. Her work was recently included in the exhibition Paris a Shanghai: Fifty Years of French Photography at the Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai, China. The Santa Monica Museum will feature her work in its upcoming exhibition Dark Places.
