Every day we see and hear an endless number of things. It is as if someone is telling us a story to which new details are constantly being added, and that goes on infinitely, according to Brigitte Grignet. Much of what we see and hear is lost, but some things - however trivial they may be - unconsciously attract our attention. Before Grignet can analyze why she had done so, she has already instinctively tripped the shutter release. In that way she records a world that unconsciously appeals to her - perhaps because of previous personal experiences, for instance from her youth. Together these moments in HERE AND NOW (2000-2005) make up a universe of its own, and an extremely personal story of how we can experience places and moments - a sensation that we all recognize.

The freelance photographer Brigitte Grignet, born in Belgium in 1968, lives and works in New York. Her work has been shown in France, the United States and Japan, among other countries.
