Description
I've been keeping a photographic journal since 2006, as if it was a self adressed lettre. Watchful for fleeting signs and symbols, I keep looking for fragments of what shapes my environnement while looking in to others peoples universes. From the outset, in gesture and in form, I wanted this to recapture the immediacy of my early Polaroids.
Acting as a second volume of my visual diary, (the first one being Le Capteur, published in 2015), Une Poignée d'étoiles is a series of observations on the passing of time, a meditation on the fragility of the present. Rooted in the everyday, the images are full of hidden narratives and nuanced colors. Attentive to nature around my country house in Québec's Eastern Townships, I'm mindful of the procession of seasons and the magic that comes with every new day.
Portraits of family and friends, landscapes, windows, endless horizons, roads that lead nowhere, places where I sleep, childhood, wanderings at home and abroard, all these are the paths I follow and that guide me in sequencing the work, gazing at the circle of life.
Une Poignée d'étoiles is meant to bring a close to this journal, if such a thing is possible...
