Une Poignée d'étoiles Photographies 2013 - 2021

Depuis 2006, je tiens un journal visuel, telle une lettre que je m’adresse à moi-même, attentif aux signes rétifs, à la recherche de fragments de ce qui constitue un univers, le mien, en regardant celui des autres. Dès le départ, j’ai souhaité retrouver, dans le rendu comme dans le geste, l’immédiateté du Polaroid.

Second volet d’un diptyque, (le premier étant Le Capteur, paru en 2015), Une poignée d’étoiles est une observation du temps qui passe, une méditation sur la fragilité du présent. Enracinées dans le quotidien, les images sont remplies de récits tacites et de couleurs nuancées. Attentif à la nature autour de ma maison de campagne, je regarde la procession des saisons et la magie qui surgit dans la vie de tous les jours.

Des portraits de famille et d’amis, des paysages, des fenêtres, l’horizon, des chemins qui ne vont nulle part, l’hiver qui recommence chaque année, l’enfance qui me rattrape, les lieux de mon sommeil, mes errances, à l’étranger comme à domicile : toutes ces pistes m’ont servi à structurer la séquence de mes images, à poser mon regard sur ce qui revient inlassablement.

Une Poignée d'étoiles cherche à fermer la boucle de ce journal, si une telle chose est possible...

A Handful of Stars Photographs 2013-2021

I've been keeping a photographic journal since 2006, as if it was a self adressed lettre. Watchful for fleeting signs and symbols, I keep looking for fragments of what shapes my environnement while looking in to others peoples universes. From the outset, in gesture and in form, I wanted this to recapture the immediacy of my early Polaroids.

Acting as a second volume of my visual diary, (the first one being Le Capteur, published in 2015), Une Poignée d'étoiles is a series of observations on the passing of time, a meditation on the fragility of the present. Rooted in the everyday, the images are full of hidden narratives and nuanced colors. Attentive to nature around my country house in Québec's Eastern Townships, I'm mindful of the procession of seasons and the magic that comes with every new day.

Portraits of family and friends, landscapes, windows, endless horizons, roads that lead nowhere, places where I sleep, childhood, wanderings at home and abroard, all these are the paths I follow and that guide me in sequencing the work, gazing at the circle of life.

Une Poignée d'étoiles is meant to bring a close to this journal, if such a thing is possible...
