photographies du japon



I'll be showing some images from Japan at a bar in Montpellier over the next couple of weeks. If anyone is close enough to be able to, please come down for a drink this Thursday 10th of March. I'll be around from about 8ish.

En visite au Japon en 2010, j'ai été subjuguée par l'esthétique portée au quotidien. Le moindre détail est valorisé et célébré. En tant que photographe, je m'intéresse à la capture des fragments, aux nuances les plus infimes, aux textures, aux instants fugitifs. Pour mes recherches le Japon est un lieu privilégié. J'ai promené mes appareils entre Osaka et Kyoto, j'en ai ramené ces photographies.

Ce ne sont pas des portraits, mais plutôt des instantanés obliques, pris sur le vif, pour mieux saisir "les petits moments". On peut dire qu'il s'agit d'images de surfaces. Surfaces de choses cachés, de traces. Un Japon, dont je n'ai fait qu'effleurer la surface.


By the way Astrid kindly asked me to be part of her 'Why Do you Shoot Film Series'.
Take a look here & read the contributions by lots of creative photographers.
