LES INSOMNIES 

études photographiques pendant le confinement 

INSOMNIA lockdown Project

 

I establishes a poetic relationship between the myth and iconography of the cosmos and its elements, where true and false aspects intertwine between fiction of appropriation and a distant fascination. Influenced by the surrealists, I experiment with the consistency of the photographic medium, expanding its technical and aesthetic possibilities. I love to create lights, experiments with serendipity.

 

During the lockdown ; every nights, I couldn't sleep early so I decided in the darkness of my kitchen to create several unknown worlds. I made imaginary territories photographed like still lifes.
I uses lights and shadows to bring two worlds or universes together : biology (glass petri dishes for creation of a plant, mold, muchrooms, organic material or everything I found in my kitchen) and visual art (paper, cardboard or aluminium) . The result is the creation of a dioramas of future world.
