]A special mini edition issued by INDEXG. Printed on 7.5 x 5.5 inches c-type photographic paper. 30 editions, with the Edition Stamp and numbered on verso. This edition also comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity issued by INDEXG.



This photograph is one from the portfolio of seven images selected from the SMOKE Collective. The publishing of the portfolio is to complement the Photo projection event taken place in INDEXG in July, 2007.



Laetitia Donval is a member of SMOKE. Smoke is a young art collective comprised of European photographers and artists. The themes that they focus on are freely associative, the writing distinct, the expression uncompromising with an approach marked by questions concerning the new methods of circulation and presentation of photo-based images. The newly-formed Smoke collective is currently exhibiting at the Arles Rencontres 2007 in France.



Explicitly or implicitly, the very name of the collective evokes the murky and mysterious world of a dissolving screen or image: an opaque and ephemeral curtain or the mature rejection of public imagery, including transparency of meaning or tradition-bound, conservative aesthetism.



Laetitia Donval (France) is a photographer who lives and studies in Arles. She has a degree from the "Ecole Nationale Superieure de la Photographie d'Arles" (National Postgraduate Photography School of Arles). Her work as video-film maker and photographer is concerned with the angst generated by the reminiscence and forgetfulness of her experiences, wrestling with this problem incorporating heterogenous materials with a violent contradiction of forms.
