C’est d’abord une photographie, ça commence toujours par une photographie… Elle me parle, me questionne, et me pousse à me concentrer sur son sens pendant des mois. De cette réflexion née toute une série. Elle n’est pas toujours très claire dans sa conception mais avec le temps elle s’explique.
Sombre Insomnie a fini par parler. Elle reflète toute une période de ma vie, sombre et pleine de doutes. Trop difficile à accepter, j’ai préféré transmettre ces sentiments à travers un personnage fictif, mais un personnage qui me ressemble.
L’inspecteur Louis MAISONNEUVE a pris ma place et offert à Sombre insomnie sa version définitive. Une version sous forme de fiction mais bourrée d’information et de clin d’œil personnel. Un juste équilibre qui me permet d’accepter pleinement cette œuvre…

Sombre Insomnie (Series)
DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I started photography in January 2018 following a strong need to find a new professional path.
My first subjects come alive around a minimalist and geometric vision of street photography. We will start two series from this period.
At the end of 2018 I tried to collaborate around a professional project but quickly I understood that only the artistic vision of photography interested me. Some exhibitions confirm this choice thanks to the good impression the public has on my work.
I then created the Dark Insomnia series. I write and edit the book Sombre Insomnie, a detective story.
At the end of 2019, introspection goes to the heart of my artistic vision, I feel the need to work on the memories of my childhood with the production of the series : Head in the clouds. I am finalizing this series in March 2020.
