Caroline Flore Charline Goblet and Sophie de Saedeleer are friends for more than 20 years. Since they started to both work on photography and collages, they said they would create a project together called FROM B to B, the 2 B´s for the 2 cities where they are respectively living: Berlin and Brussels.
The lockdown period gave them the opportunity and the desire to develop this idea. 
The „Correspondence“ project is their first FROM B to B realisation.
During this long time at home, everyone had the opportunity to follow online classes or workshops.
One of them called „stretching your creative muscles“ organised by C/O Berlin was about a weekly challenge in photography during one month. 
Sophie proposed to Caroline to make the weekly challenge in parallel and send it to each other when it was ready without consulting each other during the process. One instruction and 2 different artistic and visual approaches for a conversation with many parallels in the language. 
This exchange/conversation is translated in the common project„Correspondence“  in which they present pictures of 3 of the challenges they have been working on. They decided to chose one picture of every serie each and create a dialogue between them. Two visions from here and there, with an artistic significance.

DESCRIPTION
The 1st challenge was to photograpy a bench or a chair and to tell a story about this one single object in minimum 10 pictures.
PIX 1: Sophie chose a bench along a canal in Berlin as Caroline chose to photography a chair at her home, her son´s baby chair. The composition is containing an outside and an inside. The public is facing the intimate. 

The 2nd challenge was to make pictures in the style of an artist, and there was 3 of them. Without knowing it we chose the same one: Ellsworth Kelly who was making pictures with geometrical form to inspire his paintings.
PIX 2: Caroline took a picture of a facade in her neighbourhood and Sophie a wall paper in an abandoned factory. In the compostion the concrete geometrical forms of the house´s facade are overwritten with the abastract form of the torn wall paper, creating a strong effect close to a painting, which references the work of Ellsworth Kelly.

The 3rd challenge was to make a self-portrait.
PIX 3: Caro´s son (an extension of herself) is facing Sophie reading in her livingroom. This double self-portrait has a realistic and symbolic approach. It is a visual face to face inviting to connect with our innerchild.


FROM B to B 

My love for forms and symmetry makes my eyes (and camera) constantly finding subjects in my environment. 
I chose the W&B for its capacity to put the forms and shapes in evidence before even understanding what is the object in the picture.
