Vertigo is a Latin word that can be synonymous with vertigo. Vertigo of power that can suck beings upwards but also downwards, like in a spiral. 36 portraits of men and women, essential actors of the French political arena, amphitheater of all passions. Politics lends itself to this tragic dimension, with its share of irrationality, seduction, betrayals, and solitude.
A photographic work in color carried out over time, often in collaboration with the daily newspaper Le Monde, inscribing itself in the current events, but rich of a historical and documentary dimension. It is also a reflection on power, its representation, and the omnipresent violence that dominates the relationship to others and oneself. Psychological portraits into and seek to reveal the hidden face of public individuals locked up by the media. A suspended, cinematographic time, which stages actors who cultivate more and more a love-hate relationship with the media.
