“Conducted between 1974 and 2012, mostly in France or Europe, these images satisfy my desire to meddle in the moments and places a priori no relation with each other in a kind of automatic
writing, like the surrealists.
The book begins with a quotation from Pascal Quignard: “The visible is not enough to understand what is seen. The interpreter is not visible in reference to the invisible. “
And that’s exactly what it is: the photograph is often called something other than what is visible in the frame. The invisible, our imaginations, our memories, our desires, those of the author and those of the reader, disrupt this “real”, interpret it, filter it to finally see something other than what was photographed.
This book proposal is a journey into a world to build, to invent, because you cannot trust the photograph …
The real shifts under our eyes a strange world seems a little absurd: the horses spew clouds, a sea lion escaped from a child’s pushchair, coming of Alice in Wonderland finds himself trapped in a strange museum natural history, an empty street sees a procession of sheep and beach huts move while trying to walkers’ strange funny stunts …
All that exists right here, and the photos are proof!
Unless this is only imagined things, usually invisible
Unless either as poetry … “
Bernard Descamps
