About the artwork

Since 2011, his start as a digital photographer, Julien Talbot has devoted his artistic practice to urban landscapes. The 1934 Piscine Pontoise swimming pool is now a registered French historic monument. Capturing this site, strangely empty of any human presence, Julien Talbot photographs it head-on and showcases the almost perfect symmetry of its architecture. With its tranquil air and unruffled water, it seems to have closed its doors to the public. And yet a woman in red wanders in the distance, leaning on one of the upstairs balustrades. What is she doing there? What is she looking for? The enigmatic atmosphere and the highly graphic delineation evoke a cinematic world. The melancholy of the scene is also accentuated by the contemplative pose of the woman and the very soft blue tones forming the image.
