“Monochromatic”
a virtual exhibition by Photo Trouvée Magazine
“Monochromatic” is a virtual exhibition that explores the profound interplay between memory, emotions and nostalgia through the monochromatic lens. The works featured primarily use black and white imagery which is then altered or embellished by a single color varying in lightness and saturation. Vibrant shades of blue may elicit the recollection of an endless expanse of sky or evoke cherished seaside memories, while gentle tones of sepia might awaken the charm of bygone eras, immortalizing ephemeral moments in time. Nostalgia acts as a tender muse, evoking a longing for the irretrievable moments that have shaped us. Through the visual language of monochromaticity, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to delve into these complex realms of emotions. This exhibition, curated in the order of the rainbow, invites viewers to embark on a contemplative and visually pleasing journey exploring the works of 23 contemporary artists inspired by found and family photographs.
