«One own-space can” shelter dreams and protect dreamers “as suggested by Gaston Bachelard in La poétique de l’espace, but it is also a territory to resist and think about our place in the world. This pleasure to live life and its withdrawals has a central role in my artistic project. Initially, there are meetings and a proposal to occupy a space together, it is both a party and a confrontation. Realised after long interviews, these participatory photographic stagings are attempts to inhabit. Action before being representation, I conceive the image as a relational object, not as a fixed entity, but as an active presence in the making. From the street to the gallery, from the living room to the newspaper, my images live multiple lives, which sometimes escape me and confuse me. /// PHOTOGRAPHY IS A CONVERSATION. »Aurore Valade
