Your Memories - To Portland and back

Projet personnel sur la disparition, la subjectivité du souvenir et les sources affectives.  Je photographie des lieux dont on m’a parlé car ils furent les témoins d'instants précieux. Espaces chéris qui ne seront jamais plus tout à fait les mêmes.  Endroits transformés en écrin du souvenir, qui toujours se dérobe.  Autant de lieux prenant la forme de portraits indirects.

Personal project on disappearance, the subjectivity of memory and emotional sources. Someone tells me about memories of a place that I  then photograph. Once photographs, these sites become extended portraits. Ultimate and tangible remnants of precious moments gone,  they will never be quite the same as they once were.
