Jean-Luc Mylayne: Reflection

Jean-Luc Mylayne has devoted his life to philosophical questions about our place on Earth—questions for which birds and their natural habitats serve as both subject and symbol, and through which he probes what it means to be human alongside nature. Made in close collaboration with his life partner, Mylène, each photograph is the result of months of patient work, a sustained investigation into temporality, perception and community.

Sprüth Magers is pleased to present Reflection, a solo exhibition of Mylayne’s work, on the occasion of Berlin Art Week. The majority of the images on view were conceived during a residency in Marfa, Texas, where Mylayne was drawn to the intense shades of blue found in the water and sky, and sometimes in the birds themselves. Reflection, the title of this exhibition, speaks to the contemplation that Mylayne’s work invites, centred around the question how human beings might truly coexist with the natural world.
