Description
After Paul Cézanne
The paintings no longer felt like they were being looked at. So, art had exercised its right to withdraw, the canvases had taken a step back, moving away from the edge of their frame, to hide their melancholy in the thickness of the walls. The shadow had covered them, thus deepening their feeling of emptiness. None of the visitors had noticed it. Art had then decided to take matters into its own hands, and to send, in the form of an allegory, one of its best explorers to determine what had changed in the behavior of museum visitors. Taking a photo of them is then literally placing oneself on the border that separates from a cliché. This set of nine moments of shooting constitutes traces of its reports.
Thank you for the view and your comments

Where to start? Such a many-layered creation, and something fo the palimpsest! In sending their explorer to photograph the public, another art is created, with its own viewers. We are invited to interrogate the relationship of the figures to the original works, and to the society to which they each belong, and to challnenge perception odf bothe the art and the viewer's reaction to the art. These are exceptional images all, both in their composition and social observaton.

Thanks again dear Joe. I like to think, like many others, that a work of art looks at me, because it concerns me. For that, you have to take the time to look at it, at least 10 minutes, no doubt, and if we are still there with it after this time, it is because it has built something of ourselves, a certain way of being in the world. My little images have the luminescence of a match, the time of their flame, I always hope that they will have allowed us to see the work a little better, the thought that they serve. Sometimes I find that they go out too quickly.
