At(h)ome – Spectacular and Vernacular
At(h)ome was born after I moved to the mountains two years ago. With this radical change of place and pace of life, I felt like I had finally found my place in the world.
At(H)ome questions the perception of the territory in a place where remarkable landscapes and everyday landscapes merge into an intimate geography. Here we are between Ansel Adams and Stephen Shore, between spectacular photography and vernacular photography. Nowhere else had I found landscapes so in resonance with my thoughts.
Lost in the middle of these natural landscapes, the trace of man becomes humble. Man here coexists with the other inhabitants of the place, lost in this immensity like planets in the universe.
The choice of presentation was very important to me: The play of relationships between the images of each quadriptych gives it more strength than each image taken in isolation, like a molecule composed of atoms.
Nature is found here in large format while life, both animal and human, is placed on its proper scale in this landscape.
