Le Temps Devant (Our Time Ahead): Anachronism and Utopia in the French Countryside
Photographs by Frédéric Nauczyciel
curated by Amy Cavanaugh Royce, executive director at the Maryland Art Place
May 4 - June 29
"Upon seeing proofs from the series Our Time Ahead by Frédéric Nauczyciel I knew immediately there was something significant and special about his photography. The more I learned about Frédéric, the series, and his way of production, the more interesting this body of work became. Our Time Ahead takes you to a place of history while simultaneously drawing a familiar connection with modern life. The photographs prompt the viewer to consider their lives, the role of the countryside today, farming and other rural lifestyles through a subconscious co-mingling of contemporary living. For instance, more recent movements towards buying local, supporting independent farmers, crop sharing and other ways of integrating modern life with our food source. This was the first notion that came to my mind, although the work has much more significance than just the aspect of food and farming."
--Amy Cavanaugh Royce
