Notes from the author:
This series focuses on the residence Les Horizons located in the district of Bourg L'Evêque southwest of the city of Rennes. This residence is in the form of a double tower nearly 100m high and built in 1970 under the direction of the architect Georges Maillols.
The realization of this series was carried out during one full week, divided in phases of identification of the framing then in the phase of shooting to speak properly. The main goal of this series is to play on the architecture, angles and curves of the subject to create very graphic and even abstract shots, where the notion of building disappears. The choice of shooting times with optimal shading for each frame increases this graphic.
Similarly, the total absence of clouds in the sky combined with the whiteness of the building and the choice of a highly contrasting black-and-white treatment completely cleans the environment to focus on geometric shapes.
