Photo-fiction

The workshop took place in the first half of 2019 with the aim of exhibiting the photos produced at the Capucins library from the beginning of June to the end of September. The instruction was, from words contained in a book title or a sentence or or a text, to use his imagination and creativity to try to translate these words into photographic images.

To simplify, take words or text through all the front doors, dissect them, phosphor ... to translate what we have seen or read!

I had just finished reading a "rural black thriller" which I really liked. His title "In Memory of Fred" by Clayton Lindemuth. The last sentence of the book had stuck in my memory: "In the heart of darkness, I turn back, a path that my steps have marked over the past twenty years".
In summary, this book tells the story of a guy, at his time manufacturer of gnole (recognized quality) who decides to avenge his dog, kidnapped and used for dog fights, by exterminating the author of the kidnapping, the organizers and the spectators of this type of combat. A little sluggish, but a thriller that reads in one go.

For three months and as I traveled, I took pictures, telling myself that they could be the translation into images of what this text had inspired me. Some photos are staged.

For the exhibition, I have chosen the 4 images that illustrate this article.
