The Struggle
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Born from my encounter with a woman, it is a human ability to love which was the source of this work.
As much as her, it is the emotion of love that this work reveres.
Through the pictures, I describe my questionings, at a time when our love seems to be in danger. Photography was merely a way to rediscover a sense of seduction.
It is a work that I conceived through sequences of images, contrary to photographic trends which generally don’t leave much room for more than one image per subject. This choice, to highlight a question in particular :
What is accomplishment?
What allows the fulfillment of a projection in the world? The accomplishment of a photograph, or a painting? Fulfillment in love? Or even just the fulfillment of the feeling of appreciation?
Aren't things done, ultimately, in the continuity of a movement which is perfected as we experience it?
Sequences, therefore… Like in a line, the indefinite succession of points. (And don't all those points represent a same value within the linear trace that they can form?).
But without needing to think so much, in this project, it goes by an observation : the observation of a concrete wall - inert - on which a female body is juxtaposed - a light - and the description of all the movements that result from the encounters between this wall, the light, this woman and I.
