Silent pictures, the telling of the dizziness of the link, unalterable, whole, the difficult task of accompanying a child elsewhere, outside, in the world that calls and excludes, invisible solitude. Attempting to archive time. Little daily things, intimate, harmless, repeated. The need to take pictures of them, show them, look at them, see them.
The pictures are staged. A hand held shutter release indicating the moment the picture was taken. The decisive moment.
“Archiving time, archiving achievements, time past leaving nothing behind”, Marguerite Duras.
This series was recognized by the Bourse du talent in 2009 and exhibited that same year at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, site François Mitterrand, in Paris.
“Correlations is among the works whose force comes from the creators style and the universal dimension, it continues with authenticity, that of a staged child’s game” once said critic Hervé Legoff.
“Corrélations” was part of the Photographiques du Mans festival in April 2011. The work was recently displayed at the Château d’Eau gallery of Toulouse from June 8 through September 11 2011.
The Château d’Eau of Toulouse cosponsored the book’s publication and purchased a work for its collection. The DRAC of Alsace cosponsored the book’s publication.
