I like photography for its capacity to transport ideas. I like this way to create the reality we want by choosing the frame of a photo : who could say that a photo does not represent reality ? Nobody, however everybody should... Because who is able to claim that the exact opposite tableau was not existing just a little bit on the left or on the right off the photograph at the same moment.

Lost Places 2 (12 pictures)
[English version below.]
Cette série fait suite à l'exposition "Lost Places" qui avait été présentée voilà 2 ans. Elle présente de nouvelles photos, où des personnes photographiées donnent une nouvelle image de ces lieux. Cette exposition est le prolongement de l'expo présentée du 7 au 18 février 2013 à l'Espace Paul Jargot, à Crolles.
Ci-dessous un texte de Yannick Vigouroux :
Des images de friches industrielles se délabrant, devenues inutiles, révélant leurs entrailles métalliques. Et pourtant, loin de la cadence bien réglée de sa productivité passée, l'usine inactive serait semble-t-il devenue une autre forme de matrice. Car ces...

Where do we go, what do we see - 2011 (16 pictures)
As a young boy, I always wanted to know where the roads around my home were going. What was the best way to go from one point to another? What road was supposed to be closed but you could eventually use it in some specific spots? And so on... Then it made me feel "home" - wherever that was - was the place where you would know where all roads are going, and where they would end... The discovery of these roads was first by foot, then by bicycle. In the end, I finally got to use a car, as...

lost places, lost images - 2010 (14 pictures)
I always loved lost places. I don't know why, maybe because of the Stephen King's books I was reading when I was 12 or 13, where youngs were spending all their time in special places, waiting for "it" to appear and so on. Maybe also because of my father's garage that has always looked like Ali Baba's cavern. When I arrive in a never visited lost place, my heart beats stronger and I wonder "what will I find this time ?". These pictures all come from a pinhole holga, some from colour film, some from black&white film. There will be a part...
