Originally from Belgium, Antoine Rose is a self-taught photographer who began his career as the official photographer of the Kitesurfing World Cup for several years. Rose began shooting his “Up in the Air” series in 2002, in which he shoots from helicopters, all doors removed, at 300 feet above his subject matter. While other photographers have similarly captured the crowded Riviera beach scenes, none have done them with the direct bird’s eye view (100% vertical) that has become signature Antoine Rose. Rose’s powerful camera allows for the highest resolution even for the smallest details, and enables him to print tack sharp images, in spite of his distance and often speed travelling above. The photographer immortalizes scenes that impose a double reading. From a distance, the image is abstract and poetic, but when getting closer, the retina gradually guesses. Thousands of small colorful spots finally take life. Rose’s oversized images oblige the viewer to have a closer look in order to distinguish what they really represent. All the pieces of the puzzle are assembled and the details of numerous scenes of life are unveiled in front of our curious eyes. With his work, the artist introduces a tension between real and virtual, between what seems to be seen and what is really seen, between the visible and the hidden. Besides the aesthetic dimension, there is an anthropological and sociological layer to reading Rose’s photographs: People sharing commons behaviors and exposing themselves like hedonistic herds. The stills of people swimming, surfing, or just sun-tanning, suggests a showcase or, given the distance, an insectarium. The bird’s eye view makes people seem like insignificant dots in the infinite space of the natural world and universe.
