From the corner of the eye is a project on the edge of the city - I photographed the scraps, especially the edges, the neglected areas, sometimes right in the center of the city. The periphery observed by the height of the child's eye. It is a work on perception: the inattentive, unintentional, non-directional, non-rational perception. They are forgotten images, discarded by the mind, glimpsed out of the corner of the eye. But at the same time they represent the edge of the city: it is the city seen from the ground. I am interested in what is on the margins of perception, on the periphery of consciousness in a rational discourse. The fluctuating attention allows to intercept the inflections, the pauses that, beyond their apparent banality, organize the meaning. The photographs are taken from below, from a crouched position: there is always an out of focus area. The margin of the city is placed at the center and monumentalized. I enlarge the photo in 1: 1 scale to transform and give importance to what is removed or excluded from the field of vision.
