Mystery visitors

Photography has always been an obvious choice for me, and has matured towards abstraction. I am strongly inspired by the emotions felt when admiring the works of painters such as Gérard Schneider, Mark Rothko, Nicolas de Stael or the photographers Dolorès Marat, Sarah Moon or Saul Leiter. I have always photographed a poetic and mysterious vision of everyday life, a blurred vision of everyday life. My current series invites a human presence in my universe which is quite a new adventure for me since, so far, out of modesty or shyness, I have always avoided portraits or street photography. Here they are, alone, as a couple or as a family. Their silhouettes are evanescent, sometimes difficult to identify, captured with distance and discretion. I am interested in the mystery of their presence/non-presence, in an approach that remains fundamentally abstract. This quest is nourished by the unexpected, by the encounter between an exhibition space, its scenography and its visitors. This series illustrated my search for the "decisive moment" rendered possible by patience and the indispensable innocent collaboration of the visitors to the exhibition.
