Charles Fréger - Bleus de travail - Piece of cake 2004

Charles Fréger is utterly a photographer, just a photographer. In the portraits that he has taken over the past few years, the subjects are present, standing upright, almost hieratic, with a presence that escapes the frame of the photograph, as if, beyond the order or appointment that the artist gave them, they convened themselves to become an image, to beget an image. And that which is immediately attested - with a confirmed disorder in Bleus de travail-, is the way in which the individual "lives and works" the uniform, "their" uniform: new, ironed or used, torn, stained, closed, opened or rolled up, covered up or uncovered, tight or loose, too short or too long; this manner by which they differentiate or distinguish themselves from it; the way in which time and usage come to de/form and almost un/stick it from their own skin.
