Summary:

Léonard Pongo explores the invisible links between perception, memory, and landscape. During his intuitive and sensory journeys in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he photographs fragments of nature that evoke traditional narratives or forms within him. His images become objects: transfers of photographic gelatin onto glass plates. Fragile, marked by folds, tears, and gaps, they disrupt the original image and reveal another, more unstable, more open. This approach is part of a reflection on apophenia—this human tendency to attribute a particular meaning to what, on the surface, appears unrelated. By disturbing our visual bearings, these works invite us to look differently, to allow new narratives to emerge where reality seemed silent
