Movements

“Movements” is a two parts photoshoot that took place between Paris and Toulouse. It is a safely-distanced photoshoot whose photos resulting from it were printed and assembled in different collages. It is a collective work, with a team composed of talented persons: Michelle Tshibola, artist, seamstress, and owner of the brand Michelle TSM², Agnès Tassel, model, Hugo Bardin, hair artist, Océane Susini, make up artist, and Marie Marchandise, photographer and art director. It's a work that has been made remotely as I (the photographer and art director) suffer from a chronic illness and must stay quarantined. The photos were taken with Clos (an application dedicated to remote photoshoots), and once they were printed, they were assembled in different collages that all represent movements and motions. The main question of that shoot lies in the relationship between being quarantined and finding new ways of working and experiencing different types of energy. Through a lot of editing, prints, cuttings, sewings, collages, I let my imagination ran wild. The result was materialized through different vibrant collages. This is not a cry for help, but rather a scream with delight. Through my work, I want to remind people that there are other ways to work as a photographer and that chronically ill artists must have access to creatively fulfilling opportunities.
