Mac Adams

Biographie

Présentation

Dès 1968, Mac Adams renouvelle la "photographie narrative". La première série, photographies noir et blanc, intitulée "Mysteries" raconte des histoires de crimes.

Avec le mouvement minimal et conceptuel, l'art de cette époque se définit et se reconstruit avec des éléments extérieurs à l'oeuvre : preuves, certificats, informations complémentaires... En réaction à cette tendance, Mac Adams introduit la notion de fiction dans ses photographies. Mac Adams s'inscrit dans le courant conceptuel mais y répond de façon différente : dans la narration, tout se trouve à l'intérieur de l'image, toutes les informations sont immédiatement accessibles. Cet esprit a été suivi par d'autres artistes, quelques années plus tard, comme Cindy Sherman.

L'appropriation du genre populaire de la "série noire" est une tentative de rendre accessible la pensée sémiotique, développée par Roland Barthes à une audience plus large. Traiter le crime est aussi une façon de comprendre les comportements humains à travers leurs excès. La dimension sociale est très présente dans son oeuvre. Par ailleurs, Mac Adams est né et a fait ses études au Pays de Galles où la tradition orale est très forte et où les mythes et les contes mèlent l'ordinaire et le fantastique.

Au départ, Mac Adams réalise des "environnements", de véritables mises en scène tridimensionnelles témoignant d'une action souvent violente qui aurait eu lieu à un moment donné. Très vite, ses installations deviennent des images : photographies composées de manière extrêmement rigoureuse. Il utilise aussi bien un procédé cinématographique que pictural : le regard est dirigé par le biais de véritables synopsis proches du théâtre afin d'intégrer un maximum d'informations dans la même image. Mac Adams rassemble des "acteurs" et un décor qu'il met en scène au moment de la prise de vue. Il use du diptyque ou de l'effet de miroir brisé afin de faire ressortir la notion de temps : avant et après. Les indices sont visibles et l'histoire se reconstitue.

A l'époque, les diptyques monochromes de Brice Marden le marquent par leur manière de faire entrer le sens entre les deux panneaux par un effet optique. Mac Adams reprend le système du diptyque et offre par ce procédé une conclusion narrative. Cependant, c'est moins la lecture linéaire d'une enquête policière qui intéresse Mac Adams qu'une histoire ouverte générant différentes interprétations possibles. Il part toujours de quelque chose qu'il invente et qu'il réalise autrement que sur la surface du papier. L'histoire existe avant d'être retranscrite. Il n'y a ni trucage ni retouche. C'est au moment de la prise de vue qu'une réalité en décline une autre et c'est la photographie qui restitue l'unité de la narration. En cela, il est proche de l'artiste peignant d'après nature et non d'après un document : il est lui-même le témoin de la scène.

Le regardeur fait l'oeuvre et les indices peuvent être interprétés de façon contradictoire. L'oeil se perd dans la multiplicité d'éléments qui se répondent et se disjoignent en même temps. Il rend le témoin occulaire intime avec la scène ; le regardeur devient voyeur et témoin à la fois, spectateur et acteur. Mac Adams dénonce le pouvoir de l'image et les manipulations possibles du "faiseur d'image". Il met en évidence la façon dont le sens peut ainsi être altéré et controlé. Ce qui paraît évident dans la représentation d'une certaine réalité n'est jamais la réalité elle-même. C'est le regardeur qui reconstitue le crime si crime il y a eu.

Toute son oeuvre est un jeu à la fois ludique et lucide avec cette notion ambigüe de réalité. Mac Adams, parle de cet espace, difficilement cernable, qui se trouve entre ce que l'on voit et ce qui existe réellement. Au-delà, son travail est aussi une réflexion sur la notion d'art, de sa représentation et sur la place de l'art qui est en jeu. Ses pièces forment une sorte de "narration suspendue" dans laquelle le spectateur a la première place dans la construction de "l'histoire". Les séries ultérieures témoignent de ces mêmes préoccupations.

Mac Adams
Le vide narratif, 2010
catalogue

"Le vide narratif trouve ses orignes dans le cinéma ; il décrit l'espace qui existe entre les images successives. Vingt-quatre images par seconde - c'est la vitesse à laquelle l'esprit humain est capable de reconnaitre des espaces-temps littéraux plausibles dans la construction d'un récit conventionnel. Ce qui m'intéresse, c'est ce qui se passe dans l'intervalle entre ces images, dans l'espace entre les formes, de façon générale, et les narrations multiples que ces espaces suscitent, en particulier dans le contexte très spécifique de l'énigme policière."
