The Photographer questions himself about the notion of Portrait, his studio turns into an experimental laboratory. What happen when two people look at into their eyes during the photo shoot ? When the photographic medium is not an obstacle anymore ? When you break codes ? White wall, naked bodies, decontextualization. Time seems long, timeless. Latency takes place between two shot. 30 secondes, 40, 60 .... 120 second pass between 2 pictures. At that moment emotions are springing up, timidly, instinctively, slowly, with restraint, with tears. Hands are shaking , body is speaking. Member are getting set, tension is here. Breath is an outlet. Silently a conversation start between us. Into this closed session, these moments are photographied, ended up compress between two shot. Off camera is not outside the picture. It is visible in the middle of this one. Transparently, implicitly. It is a temporal o camera . What public is not able to see normally, is now express into the picture. Grain explodes, blur is here. Portrait appear, it becomes an « anti-portrait » Away from the photographic-aesthetic, we approach from a pictural dimen- sion. At the end of process we have a work with two bodies. They answer or ignore each other. Another conversation more clear is taking place. The Duality of these Women. (Nota : all pictures are done in Medium format Black and white film, No post processing).
