Emile Rubino
From Sunday 1 June to Sunday 31 August 2025
Working through the semantic ‘in-betweens’ of photography, Emile Rubino mines the clumsy and ambiguous nature of a type of picture-making that often presents the real in a much more declarative register. By combining, appropriating or reinterpreting a wide array of photographic discourses and histories, he conceives pictures as tenuous yet capacious containers. In his purposefully eclectic and at times collaborative approach, he directs our attention towards the photograph as both an object and a depiction—a vessel whose production and reception emerges out a complex material, social and ideological negotiation between art and labor.
The artist residency programme is organised by the CAC - la synagogue de Delme in collaboration with the Lorraine Regional Natural Park and the village of Lindre-Basse.
