Oceans

There is something raw and naive about my colour images. I sometimes feel like I am reproducing the watercolours I painted as a child, depicting the landscapes and figures around me or that I hallucinate. These are snapshots, often blurred. No post-production, Photoshop, Lightroom or anything else. Just a few basic adjustments where I can choose to ‘degrade’ the image. I work with what is there at the moment: the car window splashed with rain, an orange plexiglass screen on a beach that gives the shot its matt finish and a double exposure effect, reflections sometimes.
I try to deal with disappearance, erasure and symbiosis. Figures and landscapes intertwine. It is about bearing witness to fragility, strength despite everything, the memory of worlds that are fading away. With loving tenderness focused on these representations of human and non-human animals, minerals and plants.
I explain my approach in more detail in my photographic collection L’étoile sillonne la nue (Corridor Eléphant), a sort of colour/black and white retrospective, originally published in a limited edition of one hundred copies. I am working on a new, more widely distributed edition for early 2026.
