This work, in the intimacy of twilight, seeks to bring place, history and fates into dialogue, and to hear their echo. The images here do not describe, do not seek to establish proof of what once was. The images pay sensitive, non-fictional tribute and establish correspondence between the reality of place and the symbolic force these places summon. Filled with vibrations in punitive territory, made of impossibilities, this work comes across like cinematographic sequences where the trance of passage remains alive in the landscapes fed by the revolutionary spirit of these convicts doomed to oblivion.
This editing is representative of work in progress, eclectic none the less for a serie of 10… None of the photographs have a caption as such. All the work has been process with Kodak Tri-x and will be accompanied by a text written by Julie Grandhaye (PhD in History, Russia specialist).
Submitting my work to Lensculture provides me with the opportunity of presenting this work to professionals and of obtaining support or other opportunities for showing and producing my work.
Thank you for your attention.
