Charles Fréger's Wilder Mann, an exhibition of color photos, opens at Yossi Milo Gallery ( 245 Tenth Avenue, NYC) April 11 and runs through May 18. The exhibition will be in the West Gallery. An artist’s reception and book signing of Fréger’s book, Wilder Mann, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 11, 2013.
This is Fréger’s first exhibit with Yossi Milo and additional photos from the series will be on display at the Gallery at Hermès in New York from April 12 - June 8.
The pieces shown were taken in 2010-11 when the artist traveled all over Europe looking for the Wild Man—a legendary figure and symbol of transition in a variety of festivals. The photos are of celebrants of these festivals in traditional costumes and in their “native landscapes.”
The exhibit is a mixture of art and anthropology examining ancient traditions throughout Europe in the context of these costumes depicting the Wild Man, further contextualized by the settings.
Fréger lives in Rouen, France.
