The catalogue for an exhibition of work by Philippe Gronon, held at the Musee d'Art Moderne et Contemporain, Geneva, in 2010. "Through strict observation, Philippe Gronon captures meticulous details with a studio camera and enlarges each print to the exact scale of the object, presenting it unframed and devoid of context. While extremely detailed, the images are conceptual in their abstraction of commonplace and outmoded objects. Presenting his photographs in this manner, Gronon anchors each object in time by preserving visual traces of use, and yet strips them of their original functions so that a plurality of meanings may come to mind. Focusing on banal objects that are representative of a common past--elevators, safes, lithography stones, blackboards, the backs of well-known paintings--Gronon's work considers icons of a collective memory."
