L’Entaille Exhibition

L´Entaille (2022)

My photographic approach reflects a desire to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. Drawing on personal questions and intimate stories, I create visual narratives that examine our tangible reality, exploring the complexity of our relationship between the visible and the invisible. L’Entaille is part of this approach.

The L’Entaille project was created intuitively, with the initial idea of exploring our connection to the world and returning to a more primitive state where nature maintains a delicate balance between the sublime and the dangerous. Its origins date back to my grandfather’s death, a time when I acquired a significant collection of mountaineering photographs. I blended his photographs with my own to establish a dialogue and create a visual narrative.

The layers of time blur together; the fading of certain images’ materiality blurs the boundaries between the years. The natural landscape becomes a sanctuary for this fading memory. The project evokes an ascent toward the peaks of the unreal. It is a call to journey between heaven and earth, where humanity confronts its own human condition.

The mountain occupies a central place in this project, like a strange veil that seems to come from the afterlife. It echoes memories and the mark left by my grandfather. It maintains a special, more tragic connection that refers to a family tragedy: the death of my uncle, who was swept away by an avalanche.”
