Description
A solo exhibition in Arles during the Festival Off de la Photographie—whose main theme is the sea—is actually a photographic retrospective spanning 10 years aboard a sailboat.
Seascapes echo some of the watercolors, embroideries, and collages I created during my trip around the world. Here, a text inspired by long moments of contemplation facing the sea. There, drawings and watercolors created during my nine-year sailing trip around the world.
Photographs of the sea whose still surface responds to the whispering of the waves. Experimenting with my photography sometimes means becoming absorbed in this liminal world connected to the sea—between presence and absence, the ebb and flow of the waves.
Some photographs “brush against” a pictorial representation of seascapes, blending photography and painting.
Other shots depict solitary figures facing the sea, often lost in a moment of introspection, perhaps. Other vibrantly colored photographs capture a shared family moment by the water or participants in a sports competition.
Finally, black-and-white photographs of Malagasy, Indonesian, or Italian fishermen—the people of the sea.
