Photography
“I photograph to preserve the ephemeral, to fix chance, to keep in images what is bound to disappear: gestures, attitudes, objects that bear witness to our passage. The camera gathers them up, freezes them at the very moment they vanish,” said the keenly observant photographer Sabine Weiss.
It is with this thought in mind that I approach my photographic work, particularly in analog photography. The series Le vent fait pleurer speaks of nostalgia. The superimposition of the same photograph—intact at the top and gradually dissolving at the bottom—represents the uncertainty of our memory and the progressive fading of recollections. The camera, however, preserves this precise moment forever.
