Family, 2014
Claude Pauquet has conceived of a procedure with families from French region Poitou-Charentes of wich he has made portrait between documentary and fiction.
He photographs them at home, gathering the families all together under a meticulously choosen light. He elaborates with them a photographic set-up based on a game about intimacy and recreating a moment in the family life. Only one instruction is expressed : not looking at the camera. Settings and characters are put together in a single shot through a quite simple plan : an unique optical and a fixed frame. Consequently Claude Pauquet transforms living rooms into theater; children and parents become players of their own roles.
