Sunrise (New Horizons)
Our dreams of exploring new horizons are beyond price and it serves no purpose to forget them, so I listen to them because, with them blow the great winds of freedom.
Movement is at the heart of change, "movement is life", as they say. It has always inspired me to the extent that it has changed my photographic style. In the past I froze movement: today, I simply accompany it. I don’t stop it, I record its trace, its presence. Baudelaire said: “The image of a former world, as if veiled by the tears of nostalgia. Let memory do its slow work, let what is latent and imaginary emerge...”.

entry description
In my photographer’s imagination, new, enchanting horizons are to be found on our doorstep. We don’t have to travel far to discover them, they’re there in our daily lives, in mundane, familiar environments. They’re there, but we’re not always able to see them. Very often we simply need to adjust the focus to make them visible... They come in the form of a smile, an encounter,… It’s more to do with a frame of mind, an open attitude to others.Our dreams of exploring new horizons are beyond price and it serves no purpose to forget them, so I listen to them because, with them blow the great winds of freedom.
