Insomnies is a book about the night, and those suspended moments when the unconscious overtakes reality. Composed of intimate portraits of women confronted with mysterious nighttime landscapes, its images suggest stories where the spirit wanders between dreams and fantasies. Insomnies is an invitation to travel where the images, of a timeless beauty and deep evocative power, show the maturity of an artist who composes with precision, sensitivity, courage and skill. It’s a dense book at 160 pages, but whose small size makes it more appropriate for the bedside than the coffee table. Produced on a low budget, Insomnies was shot in digital. Privileging the intimacy of the photographs over comfort, the photographer composed his shots with the lighting at hand, sometimes improvising new techniques.
