About the series: While I hold a great respect for classical traditions of photography, I believe it is indispensable to place them in perspective. This series explores its most blatant legend: landscape and its representation. Landscape, the ultimate romantic subject, most often expresses itself from the angle of the contemplative or the breathtaking. But it is to be seen firstly as a system, perfect theorem of flows and crossings, of borders and intermixing. In this series, I firmly choose to stand ‘in conflict’ with the landscape, as a vision and as a product of space.
Despite its apparent obviousness, I assume it can be put in perspective and thus reinvented. To do so, I have a structuralist approach to the spectrums of exploration, analysis of this visible production.
To experience landscape is to practice it, to place it in contradiction, thus creating a peripheral vision. The visible then asserts itself through deconstruction and alteration. Without moving away from the primary function of an image, which is to present, this series elaborates hybrid and fanciful creatures, images of images, representations of representations.
Halfway between dreamt-up images, suspended between documentation and fiction, reality swiftly moves from obviousness to abstraction. The visible becomes minimalistic, ghost-like, a breathtaking void.
