Transports urbains
Photography has always been for me a means for experiencing space and my belonging to the world. To that extent, my pictures are “self-portraits”. If the spatial point of view defines one’s look, so does one’s unconscious imagination. In this sense, my pictures carry out what Breton would call a merging of dream and reality. For me, hence, to take pictures means to reveal “another reality”, beyond the appearance of the surrounding world, without any other manipulation than framing and focusing the image.
“Transports urbains” series plays with the figurative sense of the french word transport. Beyond its usual sense that refers to moving things or people from one to another place, transport may also evoke a deep emotion that takes away someone’s mind, somewhere beyond reality. Surprise and astonishment overwhelm the viewer of unusual images, who experiences a breathtaking shortcircuit in space and time when unconscious representations happen to blur his or her perception of everyday world.
