Mauve MAUVE is the title of a series of photographic images shot over the last years. It functions allegorically, as signifier of a series of psychological attributes that characterize the gaze during this photographic work. A gaze that expresses a stance, a reaction to the current social reality. I copy from the dictionary: ‘‘… Mauve is more than yet another hue in the palette. It is registered as mysterious, exuding…

Solitude My name is Xavier Cristau. This is a series of 12 photos. 10 are recent and 2 were taken when I was 18, when I started photographing in the street. Retired since 2018, I've been able to resume my passion for photography. I photograph lonely people in the street and cemeteries. I've chosen to present a series of my street photos first. My photos of cemeteries, which could be…

Equinox François Vinot's photos don't tell a story, they offer all possible stories. Without a libretto and in a minimalist setting, a contemporary and eternal choreography unfolds before our eyes. The voluptuousness of the materials, the exaltation of the colors, the sensuality of the make-up and hair, the velvety texture of the skin, the visual richness of the clothes (and one might be tempted to say the stage costumes, so…

Intersections Everything consists of points, lines and their intersections. A person’s path from birth to death is a line and everyone has their own unique one. Nature also draws its lines, which have no similarities. The connection between motherhood and nature is also in intersection. All this leaves its imprints, both in physical form and in spiritual.The bond between mother and child never leaves us, it is with us until the very end. It can give strength and it can cause pain as well.When a woman has a child, her…

Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Masks Having discovered Venice outside of the carnival festivities, I toured the workshops and boutiques of the artisans, the real ones who make things made in Venice. Whether they are made of leather, wood, plaster, papier-mâché, painted, decorated with stones, jewels or feathers, they are true works of art. A long time ago the main function of the mask was to preserve anonymity, allowing its owner to play a role…

Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another. Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…
