CGiii Comment

A somewhat troubling [and sinister] portrait of masculinity...

These men are fractured...if they are representative of the wider population...indeed, cause for grave concern!

Pierre Liebaert invites us to a strange in-camera.
The models who replied to his ad wanted to pose in the intimacy of closed doors, as if this face to face with the photographer whom they knew nothing about was the one thing they had been waiting for.
No other desire than to be in front of him, to be contemplated, exposing themselves before the camera and transgressing a norm their public life or private situation seem to impose on them. The resulting photograph is for them but a document bearing witness to this, a “photograph as proof”, an image of their momentary freedom.
Xavier Canonne, director of the Charleroi's Museum of Photography (Belgium).

C’est à un étrange huis clos que Pierre Liebaert nous convie.
Les modèles qui, répondant à l’annonce qu’il a diffusée, ont souhaité venir poser dans l’intimité d’une chambre close, semblent n’avoir rien tant désiré que cet instant du face à face avec un photographe qu’ils ne connaissaient pas.
Nul autre désir que celui d’être devant lui, d’être contemplés, de se livrer à l’appareil en transgressant une norme à quoi leur vie publique ou leur situation familiale paraît les contraindre.
La photographie qui procédera de la rencontre n’est dès lors plus pour eux qu’un document qui en atteste, une «photographie comme preuve», celle de leur liberté momentanée.
Xavier Canonne, directeur du Musée de la Photographie de Charleroi (Belgique).
