Il fait déjà jour, 2012
One day a child was asked what he thought was the most important star, the Moon or the Sun.
The child thinks for a few seconds and answers: the Moon.
“Oh, yeah, and why?”
“Because at night, it allows you to see and distinguish things; on the other hand, the Sun, it is useless since it is already daylight!”
This little anecdote illustrates well the point made by Fabrice Picard in his series “Il fait déjà jour”… If the photographer’s role is to see, he must also “know how to see” in the sense of distinguishing, of detaching from the visible mass what would pass unnoticed by casual, or casual interest.
These photographs, pieces of time cut into space, inform nothing, give no truth except that poetry, intrigue and beauty, constantly encompass us, day and night.
