Night Diary

I love cities at night. Eveywhere people move, work, get bored, drunk, make love, all taking part in the same big insomnia. Darkness uninhibits and makes everything possible. Night is my paradise of artificial lights. I fix onto the negative neons lights, cigarette smoke, body movements or stiffness before the lens. It makes those fugacious moments last longer. I search for improbable encounters. What appeals to me is the potential of certain persons to be impudic. I have the strange feeling that they are familiar, they embody an image that already existed in me. My pictures are built from this imaginary world and grow with people's personnality and ability to express my obsessions. I also like to find in them a little part of myself and take the chance to show myself through them too. The camera is a tool, an excuse to invent strange situations which would have never existed otherwise. It creates some magic and makes people reveal something of themselves into a game of pose and mise-en-scène. The images allow me to capture a particular moment photography made happen, to tell a certain story of these characters. Each image recalls the pleasure we had together. I track down the madness of this rare moments of abandonment and grace.
