“Elongations” and “Troubles” are series of photos we can call “traditional” in a contemporary technical sense, meaning the photographer uses digital photographic files without deforming or interpreting them by computer retouching. The “elongation” is created at the moment when the picture is taken ; after which the printing process, silver gelatin on paper is a classical one.  

These studies take further my earliest works created about twenty years ago and inspired by the pictorial work of Francis Bacon. From the decomposed movement fixed by Muybridge through the fluid and transparent translations of Bacon this series is following in time by giving my own point of vu, between  the figurative and the abstract.

It touches the pure formal interpretation of the real, or more definitely, a kind of a ritual dance of the gesture ("Elongations”) or the expression of the human face. The images can also sugerate a surreal way of decorticating the poetical description of the subject.
I would like to outline my approach in letting the both sides of the picture enlarge his meaning and his impact on the spectator’s eye.

The first direction, the character of the recognizable representation, the second direction, the flare of the ambiguous non-figurative build each other interloquating questions to the visitor and invite his imagination in exploring subliminal sensations.
