It all started with this need, this obsession really : to seek out beautiful lights. City lights, of course, but above all, the lights of life. Far from the obscurity imposed by the passage of time, with its superimposed days and seasons that we had promised never to allow to merge. It took a pandemic, a pause in the world in general, a change of personal pace for me to dare to fix in photos the images my mind had always visualized. The rhythm of my footsteps and my wanderings through the city have given rise to these assemblages of light, characters, texture and objects. From certain reflections emerge a singular perspective of the surrounding world, another dimension of my Paris. In the absence of clarity in a new chapter of life, these glints invite to a new reading of reality. The lights of the moment.  Marion Mertens. Spring 2024
