“This choice of a few images from the whole range of Bernard Descamps’ work can simply be perceived as a compilation of my favourites. A choice for pleasure. Bernard was generous enough to let me put together this collection and suggested that I name it Essential, after the title of one of his favourite records: The Essential Bob Dylan. But I hope that a more abstract idea of the essential can also arise from it. An illustration of that mysterious relationship between photography and reality, between the still image and what has been seen, framed, chosen, extracted from the stream of consciousness that runs through us every second. A sort of essence of the gaze, slowly distilled with talent and passion.”
