Just a few days before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, YellowKorner launches an exclusive drop of 5 never-before-seen photographs by Forgetmat.
A new vision of Olympic art!
FORGETMAT, A COMPLETE ARTIST
By turns dancer, choreographer and photographer, Mathieu Forget, better known as Forgetmat, is a versatile artist whose favorite field of expression is movement and levitation. Immortalized in the air by numerous street photographers, the man nicknamed the flying man is now the actor, director and producer of his own images. Produced without any special effects, his weightless photographs explore the beauty of movement and the body in action. By redefining the perception of gesture and the surrounding environment, while defying the laws of gravity, the artist manages to capture the magic of movement without artifice. A beautiful way to embody the strong values of freedom of expression and self-transcendence for the time of a suspended moment! Through her dreamlike shots, Forgetmat reveals a poetic definition of sport that combines lightness and power. A delight for art and sport lovers alike.
A "CULTURAL OLYMPIAD" EXHIBITION
For several weeks now, the Cultural Olympiad has been rolling out across France to celebrate the Olympic spirit. The aim of this multi-disciplinary artistic and cultural program is to open the doors to culture and artists through the prism of sport. It's in this context that YellowKorner wanted to offer Forgetmat a choice stage for its "Sport in the air" exhibition, on view until August 11 in its La Hune gallery. Europe's leading printer of limited-edition photographs, this French publishing house is renowned for creating exhibitions that are as inspiring as they are rewarding. YellowKorner's mission is to make photographic art accessible to all, whether as a scout for new photographic talent or as a successful supporter of established names such as Oliviero Toscani, Laurent Baheux and Yann Arthus-Bertrand. With "Sport in the air", the publishing house offers an immersive exhibition that invites visitors to plunge into the artistic world of Forgetmat. A visual art where sport and poetry have never been so intimate...
