Projects: White Night

Comment

White Night This is a series of photographs made ​​between 1:00 am and 5:00 am covering daily distances than a dozen kilometers,daily for two years, all photographs were taken with an ektakrome film . They were made in laying slow exposure times were for each of them, of about half an hour. This photographic work was done for two years in Northern France. I decided to make a light path that would invite people to travel to places usually poorly attended, leading them through the same spaces. This journey documented by numerous photographs. My bias is therefore to provide a predetermined light path (paths because my dreams are always associated with existing light environments) or I move to my desires sandstone temporary light installations on some sites. Although this project is also to ask about the status of the city on a socio-politico-economic. True to my concerns I am the light too because where the shadow is absent, there are only flat areas, no depth, something that does not interest me. The project was subsequently the subject of black on black drawings, and in this quality contrast aimed to show what I was holding the distances traveled. The idea is to propose thereafter an unusual route into the city and set design suggests a light in some places.This photo gallery presented here is only a fragment of my work.
