And there will be the sea (Seascapes)

I’m interested in the way our memory is made. What matters to me is to question the choice we make, without being conscious of this, among all the things we experience over time. How do these choices leave their print on us, and what is left to imagination.

These images are fragmented. I overlay pictures taken on the same place and at different times, yet all brought together on a recomposed landscape. Which means that every instant contains other instants, other perspectives, other choices of what is remembered or forgotten, and they all suddenly coexist.

Facing the sea is facing the horizon, and the horizon is something perfectly illusive, never to be reached or measured. The ocean shores I choose to photograph are precisely uncertain places, moving, changing. Tides, water, sand. The pictures are made of several layers, but if you want to perceive them simultaneousely and go from one to another, then you have to make incisions through them. They are these geometrical shapes, like monuments becoming themselves part of the seascapes, opening passages between realities.
