Each year Carte grise, which comprises an exhibition and an accompanying publication, makes it possible for us to discover a specific artist's view of contemporary photography. Within this framework, Raymond Gervais has decided to speak to us about the relationships between acoustic and visual recordings, and between CDs or vinyl records on the one hand, and photographs on the other –as multiples. At the centre of this enterprise is the turntable, an object that presents itself simultaneously as a sort of time machine and an acoustic darkroom. This project suggests that we lend an ear to photography.
