Like every year, Little Big Galerie offers a collective exhibition of the photographers it represents and its favorites pictures.
This year: they are: Maxime Antony, Laurence Biaggi, Thibaut Derien, Doytcheva, Marion Dubier-Clark, Isabelle Levsitre, Fabienne Percheron, Christian Poncet and Maxime Simon.
We have chosen to present Maxime Antony’s portfolio to you accompanied by his text:
Vast expanses of seabed are revealed by the retreat of the waters, while, conversely, powerful waves hit the coasts: these are spring tides. The surrealist walk as a contemplative stroll can begin. The movement is there, fluid, rapid, fleeting and captivating. Traveling waters come together here, which have flowed through the veins of the whole world, mixing with others to present themselves in vain before us before leaving for an eternal return, an eternal path. Is it really the tides that are active or is it our perceptions that are drifting? Is it the tides that we observe or the allegory of our mind? Gravitational force and centrifugal force inhabit us. We start becoming one with nature. Immobile, mobile, stable, unstable, alive.
Diving in wholeheartedly, a course of action emerges. The walk continues. We chase the tide. The tide follows us. We follow the walk. We are the movement, we are the wave, we are the eternal beginning, new beginning. These waters flow through our veins as they flow through the universe. Beneath the surface, our bodies are full of them. We live to the rhythm and the whim of the waves. Whether visually, through a youthful jump, through a knowing touch or through an in-depth excursion, coming into contact with these springs is a goal. Once this is achieved, our mind is enamoured. Mine was through these lenses which were able to illustrate the mysticism of these spring tides.
