Project Description
LE CHEMIN DE SABLE
Two images, two perceptions of a same landscape, and yet slightly different. A transparent image hovers about one half-inch above the other one, sharing the same frame but contradicting the other picture underneath. What is in focus in a picture is blurred on the other, on the very same spot. The eye is forced to choose what it has to focus on, what it wants to keep.
Is it how memories are made? Why do we remember certain things and discard others? We sometimes register the most insignificant details, forgetting others (including the ones we would have dearly wanted to keep !). Our memory is not something we build over time but on the contrary a continuing loss, some sort of sieve that only holds some fragments of your life, when the rest if flowing like sand between our fingers.
