Description
j'ai toujours été fasciné par le corps comme porteur d'émotions et pas seulement le visage à lui seul. J'aime à penser aussi que les instants forts aux différents âges de notre vie en réactivent d'autres plus anciens.
Enfin j'ai trouvé un jour que la séquence photographique de Duane Michals intitulée : "Les choses sont bizarres" était une bonne façon d'évoquer tout cela par sa manière d'imbriquer le temps et l'espace .
j'espère que vous apprécierez ma version de cette séquence qui comprend 8 images. Celle-ci commence par le corps de cette femme âgée, dont on ne sait si elle dort ou si elle est morte...
I have always been fascinated by the body as bearer of emotions and not just the face alone. I like to also think that strong moments at different stages in our lives reactivate other older.
Finally I found one day that the photographic sequence of Duane Michals entitled "Things are Queer" was a nice way to raise it all by the way to nest time and space.
I hope you enjoy my version of this sequence which contains 8 images. This starts with the body of the elderly woman, we do not know if she sleeps or if she died ...
Thank you for the view and your comments

Asleep. I've seen too many dead bodies. This one is definitely asleep. Very good work. I like the facial expression - not at ease even though asleep. The Polaroid photo of another image in this series is a forewarning what other images are to come. Very good idea. Keep up the good work!

I am fascinated by works that test the plasticity of our brain, which give us access to forms of reasoning that escape the physical experience of our lives. Some sequences of the photographer Duane Michals allow this. They show us the relativity of what we believe to read in images or even what extends before our eyes. In my sequence, I am not sure that the old lady and the other women are the same person ... Of course the choice of hairstyle quasi identical allows this hypothesis, but a certain reading of the temporality of the sequence contradicts this opinion: Picture 1 to 5 we are witnessing a kind of traveling back. This gives the impression that all these scenes happen in the present from the same place while the point of view changes, including in our perception of the scale. The final (images 6 and 7) is different; It is a kind of particular abyss. By leaving a close-up, he suggests that all that we have seen by widening the frame, is only a detail of the scene, except that it was already present in the image 1 without us to be able to measure its meaning. The present that follows each of the scenes can then be re-read as a flashback of the elderly person reading her memories (yes, but then why do they take place in this hospital room?) What I like about this cunning device is that it’s the image of our lives, we regularly encounter elements that could be indicative of what we are going to experience later, but they make no sense at first.
