“Supernature” recalls an “imaginary safari”. Taken with an analog Leica camera from wildlife documentaries, these photographs are film details.

As a hunter, he prepares his focus and chooses his moment, working instinctively in search of images he describes as “chromatic and dreamlike”.

Souvenirs of vignettes, playing cards, illustrated books or comic strips, they seem to come from a half-awake child’s dream.

A great cinephile, François Fontaine plunges us into Karen Blixen’s African Farm and brings to life the iconic images from the film Out of Africa.
