Open Fields

French photographer Guillaume Amat explores his country’s landscape with a mirror, creating new perspectives and blurring the boundaries between the real and fiction.

The central idea of the serie Open Fields, started in 2013, is the representation of the French landscape and the notion of his capture with a mirror measuring 80x120 cm placed in situ.

The mirror comes reconstructing the landscape with the off- field facing him and creating a double reading. In the construction of his pictures, Guillaume Amat is interested in creating a new perspective within the context of the image, by blurring the boundaries between the real and fiction, reality and invention. The superposing of shots and the fragmentation of spaces create new perceptions, by playing with the perspectives and the picture frame of the host site.
