MARC TORRES
Représentations du réel
Photographie et inconscient
Le parcours de Marc Torres est atypique. C’est d’abord le cinéma avec des réalisateurs comme Frederico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini ou Jacques Tati qui l’amène à la pratique d’une photographie scénique dans les années 1970. Puis, sous l’influence des grands maîtres du noir et blanc comme Henri Cartier-Bresson ou Raymond Depardon, il s’attache à une rigueur dans la représentation de ses scènes de rue, allant jusqu’à s’interdire un recadrage, préférant jeter un négatif.
Ses nombreux séjours dans les villages blancs méditerranéens permettront l’émergence d’un nouveau style d’écriture plus minimaliste. Sa série «Blancheur de l’exil» bénéficiera de nombreuses expositions dont une présentée au Venezuela lors du mois de la photo fin 2005.
Seul quelques clichés subsistent de cette époque, notamment un reportage sur le festival du cinéma à Cannes.
Fin des années 1990, Marc Torres rompt avec les traditions du noir et blanc pour se consacrer à la couleur. Cette mutation prendra plusieurs années. Sa rencontre avec l’artiste américain Marcus Reichert, peintre, cinéaste et photographe, va conforter sa vision sur les traces du quotidien de ses contemporains. Sa photographie devient conceptuelle mais quel que soit les séries entreprises, la notion humaniste (visible ou subjective) marquera chacune de ses images. De cette approche photographique naîtront plusieurs travaux dont : Mémoire en friche – appropriationnisme – VisionZurbaines - Tranches de vies et Voyage au bout du Rhône ou Marc Torres révèle son regard de coloriste.
Entre écriture et mémoire, Marc Torres ce « reporter urbain », ainsi qu’il se définit, voyage et produit des sujets régulièrement diffusés dans la presse magazine européenne.
Mai 2009, il quitte la France et s’installe en Espagne à ROTA dans la baie de Cadiz en Andalousie.

MARC TORRES
Representing reality – Photography and subconsciousness
The uncharacteristic career path of Marc Torres started with the cinematic influence of the 1970s. Inspiration for his scenic photography was garnered from film directors like Frederico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Jacques Tati in particular. Later, his influences were the great black and white masters like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Raymond Depardon. He applied strict rules to his street scenes to the extent that he would rather throw away a negative than to have to crop it.
A new minimalist approach was born of knowing and re-visiting the white villages of the Mediterranean. His series, the « White in Exile » was exhibited extensively, in particular during Venezuela's photography month in 2005. Only a few shots remain from this era and mainly come from his photo reportage of the Cannes Film Festival.
In the late 1990s Torres broke away from the black and white medium and moved into colour – a transition that took several years. An encounter with the American painter, cinematographer and photographer Marcus Reichert, rekindled his vision of the traces of everyday life as depicted in the work of his contemporaries. Although his photography was becoming more conceptual, the human aspect was always there, always either apparent or subjective in whatever he shot. This photographic approach fostered various works: Torres' eye for colour most apparent in Mémoire en friche – appropriationnisme - VisionZurbaines (Urban Visionz)- Tranches de vies (Slices of life) Voyage au bout du Rhône (Voyage to the end of the Rhone)
Torres defines himself as an « urban reporter » and his work and subjects, often a result of his travels, have regularly been published in the European press, primarily in magazines.
May 2009, it leaves France and settles in Spain in ROTA in bay of Cadiz in Andalusia.
