Time


For me, one of the most appealing qualities of photography is the sense of time that it transmits.
It is amazing for me to start from reality and create an imaginary time, one that allows us to contemplate instead of understand.
I believe that I am fascinated for a long time by the slowness of time, by days that go by slowly, when we have time to wait, when there is no rush. It is the opposite of the fast unforgiving time we are living , a time of unhappiness.
That was the 19th-century literary time; we just have to read a novel by Jane Austen to understand the exact notion of this slow-moving time.

I am quite aware this is a “romantic” time, a time that doesn’t exist, or, if it existed, it would not be preserved, however, “photograph surpasses life itself” and that romantic time remains in our memory and it will be there forever.

The idea is to build a fantasy, perfect, quiet place.
