The publication En cours de route by Corine Lemieux proposes a photographic circuit composed of situations from everyday life. The images chosen and organized in a circuit deal with the subtlety of human interactions while opening our consciousness to the availability of the artistic elements that surround us. Without staging, the artist photographs situations as they present themselves to her during encounters or activities of daily life. In her work, the photographic mechanics metaphorise our inner mechanics, our moments of opening and closing, the intensity of our sensitivity. Thus, she produces series that question the complexity of human relationships (series of accolades, links, meetings, portraits, crossings, connections), the elusive nature of phenomena (series of obstacles, blurs, out-of-field, reflections, shadows, light), transitions and deaths (series of corpses, wounds, still lifes, offerings), the places with which we cohabit (series of environments, ambiences, house, workshop) or a series of found words that in some way name all these realities.
