beaux livres : photo, architecture, art

“This book is a dive into the most private aspect of my practice. Since 2006, I have been keeping a visual journal, paying attention to signs and looking for fragments of what my universe is made of. I pursue the fragile tracks of ephemeral things, everywhere, at all times, these things so easily found, so hardly remembered. I see this journal as a film without scenario where the artwork comes to life on my table before it does in the book. Each chapter is a route, a sped-up slice of life, a record of the world’s relentless movement. Une poignée d’étoiles is a reference to my nocturnal shootings during lockdown, with a symbolic will to transform chaos into cosmos. Besides the photographs are brief texts, excerpts from my journal. I see the whole as new images, like literary contact sheets.” (Bertrand Carrière)
