About this image : Most viewers don't see the difference between my images and documentary images, maybe they are too realistic. I forced the line with this staging. This sort of basaltic triumphal arch on the left, which inspired me to call the piece "L'arc de Poseidon", is spectacular, I overdid it. On this calm Mediterranean sea, on which the cloud-studded sky is marvelously reflected, sails a boat with a black hull, the color of old freighters and pirate ships. At the far end, in the distance, we can make out a dark island. On the right in the beginning, a rock falls sharply. My approach : In October 2021, something clicked. Using the building materials at my disposal, I created a sketch of a landscape that touched me. Are brought to the surface, my first photos taken in childhood with miniatures, the retrospective of James Casebere in Munich, the models of Chris Burden, the stagings of Gilbert Garcin. But something else was happening, the aquatic world, the water. “The sea was over there in the reservoir of my memory” as John Fante wrote. These islands detached and separated from the rest of the world, located in a geography that is both real and fictional, these places conducive to reconstruction, now offer me a new form of escape, between reality and invention. I use very simple means to simulate the sea on a flat surface, to evoke islands in three dimensions. I take the whole picture with a wide angle and a low angle view, while taking the sky as a backdrop. I try to build landscapes from scratch that I stage with natural lighting. The image obtained is realistic to a certain extent, I am under the illusion but the doubt must hover, it is assumed. I chose the square format to stand out from landscape photography. I bet on color, that of the Mediterranean, I use architecture to indicate a scale.
