“I spent a month walking alone in the streets of Rennes. With a blank stare – it was the first time I’d set foot there. Chance is good, getting lost in the city provokes it, and images appear around every corner. And when the light is right, all you have to do is grab them, quickly, before they’re gone. Because in Rennes, if the sun is so intense, it’s because the clouds are always chasing it. A game of hide and seek. Shadow… Light… Rain… Light… Shadow… Light… Intense. Violent. With strong contrasts. A magical moment is created, which must be captured before it slips away. In addition to the light that is so typical of Brittany, there’s this very special stone. It’s there, everywhere you look. The unity of style in the same place is striking. It’s impossible not to sense the memory, the history, that transpires from these stones and cobblestones. The stage is set for a narrative of light and shadow. A black series in which the main protagonist, the city, emerges. Or perhaps its soul.” Guillaume Zuili
