I had to go along with such an exercise. With only a body, a lens, and light … and a few sheets of paper! Seemingly nothing more simple, and as I like clean and simple work … But simplicity isn’t so simple! Especially since I really wanted to do something as such, without drawing or writing, without darkening them, not to refer to their support function. A sort of hymn to the blank page!

Locked in the studio several days to bend, fold, turn, light, frame … Why? Playing with sheets of paper?  In a sense, to end with these blank pages, fixed in the likeness, in the purity, virginity. But open to the difference in the feel and imagination. Playing with light, drawing these volumes, these shadows, these forms, these ways.

Finally, it would seem that we can do a lot from nothing… And that’s where the interesting things begin …
