Les fleurs, Making of<\/em>,\u00a02001-2006, \u00a036 contact sheets, \u00a024 x 30 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contact sheets united here correspond to the preparatory work for the series Les fleurs<\/em> (2001-2006).\u00a0Several years after having finished this project, I decided to integrate the contact sheets to cover one wall, or only hang a few. They are witnesses of a device used for the initial project\u00a0: the number of flowers that passed the casting, the numerous results obtained depending on the species and the relationship between the colors of the flowers and the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaques sensibles<\/em>, 2009, s\u00e9rie de 16 images, impressions pigmentaire, 24 x 30 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These boxes for photographic plates evoke the history of photography and the fantasy of a mechanical image. The lids of these reliquaries of light toy with evocations of speed, truth, perfection, sensitivity or cartographic optics in a glowing lexicon which is reflected by their jaunty graphic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Film rouge (\u00c7a tourne\u00a0!)<\/em>, 2014, video HD, sound, 2\u201955\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A windmill and a ventilator. The windmill\u2019s blades and the sound of the motor remind us of the movement of the movie camera which, in this case, has been replaced by a camcorder. The two objects start moving in a minimalistic performance, which is reminiscent of pupets, of pure color and of basic cinematographic principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop-Up<\/em>, papers collage,\u00a012 x 12,3\u00a0cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small collage is part of a work on paper begun in about 2007. A project that is easy to work on and which allows for the recycling of magazines, producing images that exceed our sensitive reality and letting familiar motives resurface, here, the representation of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monochrome blanc<\/em>, 2017, papers collage, 20 x 27 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Herman Melville's Moby Dick<\/em> there is a chapter titled \"The Whiteness of the Whale\". Here is an extract of the images and the adjectives that qualify the whiteness and thus form a new poem and, so to speak, a white literary monochrome. Moby Dick<\/em>, de Herman Melville, se trouve un chapitre intitul\u00e9 La blancheur de la baleine<\/em>. Il s\u2019agit ici d\u2019un extrait des images et des adjectifs qui qualifient le blanc et la blancheur pour former un nouveau po\u00e8me et, si l\u2019on veut, un monochrome blanc litt\u00e9raire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
