Pt. 2/ 2025
Guillaume's second iteration of Lost Creek continues his exploration of dried creek beds in the Mojave Desert. These layered black and white compositions transform quiet desert spaces into visual records of time itself, making visible the hidden patterns water has carved into rock and sand. The work tells the story of missing water through the traces it leaves behind, rather than freezing a single moment. Guillaume achieves this through a distinctive quadruple exposure technique, shooting negative film four times at different locations within the same stream, creating ghostly, overlapping images that function like transparent layers revealing both reality and the camera's interpretation.
Pt. 1/ 2018
Lost Creek examines a dried Mojave Desert creek bed through multiple overlapping monochromatic exposures captured with a custom-built medium format camera. The layered compositions reveal water's ancient passage through stone by building each frame upon the previous one. This technique creates visual documentation of the landscape's accumulated history, showing centuries-old water patterns and erosion marks that are typically invisible to casual observation. The work explores the relationship between human perception and geological time. Rather than freezing single moments, the photographs present fluid sequences that suggest the ongoing motion of natural processes within seemingly static landscapes.
