Gabrielle Duplantier, IN LIMBO, 2025

**Numbered and signed edition with print**

Published by Unsocial Studio Gallery on the occasion of the exhibition in Modena

The exhibition presents a selection of black and white works, from the artist’s early photographs to his latest creations.

The images, as the title of the exhibition suggests, reveal mysterious places suspended in a fantastical and surreal dimension where time seems to stretch out infinitely. Gabrielle’s limbo is made of wood, intricate drawings of trees and vegetation, powerful portraits and animals; all elements belonging to an inaccessible nature that seems to hold its breath in our modern world.

An excerpt from Claude Nori’s text, taken from Canto Libero, 2022: ‘Gabrielle Duplantier is now recognised as one of the most powerful contemporary voices in photography, a voice that immediately transports us like flamenco or fado, a cry that is both strong and melancholic, but which sweeps away everything in its path, like the wind blowing across the moors and hills of her Basque Country, evoking myths and legends. With a raw, high-contrast palette of black and white, the artist has created a unique visual alphabet, painstakingly constructed over time. The viewer is drawn to her images by the sensuality of the forms and materials, but also by the blurred faces and bodies engaged in rituals, often mysterious, that play with reality and fiction.”
