? l?aide d?un appareil SX 70 d?nich? sur un march?, j?ai choisi de revenir ? l?acte m?me de photographier, ? des prises de vues instantan?es. ? travers la technique du polaro?d et utilisation de films p?rim?s, je travaille simplement en appuyant sur le d?clencheur, en contact direct avec le pr?sent, le pass? et les fant?mes parfois des espaces travers?s. L?image appara?t ainsi dans un rapport d?imm?diatet? qui abolit toutes les ?tapes de r?ception et permet d?appr?hender plus que le r?el. Je propose en effet une s?rie de paysages, ouverts ? l?infini et au r?ve, sans aucune trace humaine. Ce sont des ambiances que j?affectionne particuli?rement, et qui nous entra?nent vers une sur-r?alit??
