Street View

Street View 2009-2012



"Seeking to understand the world and seeking to understand
photography. The images present an ambiguous cosmos where order and disorder
sometimes go hand in hand. At first glance, the images oscillate between the formal
fragmentations of the German school and the democratic visualism of the new
topographics. I am always looking for that visual stability that haunts me,
maybe because it's so calm.

To empty spaces, I prefer to juxtapose the strangeness of constructions
or rather the relationship between them. At the same time it is observing the
landscape tamed by man.

The visual journeys across the country, is sprinkled
with a pinch of poetry paying particular attention to light and the
omnipresence of color. The images retain a certain fascination for vernacular
photography, often banal, but always as effective because it makes us
rediscover our streets, our houses, our places like that primordial first time;
you just have to wait for a seemingly trivial place to turn spell-bindingly
magical in the space of a moment. My topographic photography is a document
created by man at a point in history. By trying to capture the spirit of a single
moment in history, it describes this space filled with symbols and ideally
creates a living memory of an era. "
