Richard Pak (F) Pursuit

A project created over a six years period, Pursuit is the disenchanted chronicle of an idealized America. Being a keen admirer of American literature, cinema and painting, I created my own fancied-America, a not-so-imaginary place filled with fictional heroes and fantasized places. The purpose of this work is to juxtapose a mental construction to the reality of the American everyday life and to picture the “American experience” as a metaphor for a bigger experience. Through this work I mean to suggest rather than describe, translate life’s small dramas into something timeless and universal, aiming to reach beyond the American boundaries. The title echoes the United States Declaration of Independence stating every American’s rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Born in 1972 in Corbeil, France. Works and lives in Paris. december 2009 LINEART 4 - 8 december Stieglitz19 was awarded with the B New Gallery selection , Jimmy Kets was Laureate for the Young Ones.

His series Lolita in Shenzhen depict his interpretation of the ideal woman in the streets of Shenzhen. Like the Winogrand series Woman , he was in search of the unspoiled moments of Chinese Woman, their ideal world, the uncommon unreal. Woman on the streets in street beauty parlours, rushing to go to their job or posing in wedding dresses at the corner of a busy street at rush hour. The beauty of the moment, the pure Photography. This Photographer who is completely unaware of our Photographic past shows us his utopia , in the tradition of the photographers of the fifties.
