Inland seas
France
2016Invité
The subject and setting of this work are the coastlines of inland seas. He reproduces the symbolic spaces of people and the sea. These inland seas are located between Europe and Asia, an area vastly important in the history of humanity. The artist has chosen to leave to one side human territories, but their silent presence is tangible. The images are taken at a time when daylight fades to make room for the night. Between dog and wolf. The sea becomes the backdrop for the suspended portraits. These photographs were taken in different countries, with various historical and political contexts, but whose common point is the sea. If the images show men contemplating the sea, they also aim to suggest what was and what will be the reality of their lives.
