"Open seas" is a body of work between documentary and fiction about our dialectical relationship with the environment, through poetic investigations caught in an interlacing of resonances, incomplete plan and uncertain images. Three inhabited stories radiate their fragments of waking dreams.
"In pursuit of the green ray"
This series is a kind of imagined account of an obscure scientific expedition. The green ray (a rare atmospheric phenomenon observable at sea) escapes the explorator: only the doubt remains.
"The wavering of cathedrals"
Manipulated by glitch and alterations, iceberg images question the fragility of photography as an archive and the durability of our digital memory. Through images containing both the sublime and the lost, this series becomes a tangible landscape of memory, a metaphor for a world in reprieve.
"Cargo civilization"
Two centuries ago, in the islands of the Pacific, Melanesians saw cargo ships arrive loaded with food, strange and surprisingly elaborate utensils, at the simple request of the colonists. So the Melanesians imitated them: with the help of radios made of wood and string, they too asked their ancestors for help. Since then, they have been waiting for the arrival of the cargo ships laden with their hopes.
Contemplative essay, these series propose a strange vision of a changing world. They question the codes of the representation of nature by exploring the grey areas, and playing with the tension between visible and invisible, gravity and gravity, artificial and natural, fiction and reality.
Through a subjective interpretation of the state of our planet, they attempts to blur the Manichean duality between a preserved natural world and the catastrophe.
Below the surface, the future is latent.
