leurs attentes is a 2min44 video (2019)

In French, "leurs attentes" means both waiting and expecting something from life. 
From my window, I filmed people waiting for the bus. Such a special moment, when everyone gets lost in their thoughts, thinking about their shopping list, their work, their loved one, their problems... In a world where everyone is running around all the time, these moments in suspense are rare and precious. 

The video editing work also allowed me to superpose images and sounds, a bit like the thoughts of the protagonists. I played with the rhythm of the video and the inversion of time. The black and white filter ensures the anonymity of people and reinforces the identification of the spectator. 


leurs attentes

623.7 cm² is the title of a series of 45 photographs taken only with a scanner printer. This title corresponds to the surface area of each photograph. 
Out of sight, alone, I spent long hours scanning my face.
This series speaks about the vanity of time, the fragility of the image, the fleeting nature of the emotions, all condensed in these 623.7cm² rectangles.
Like a foetus in its mother's womb, I become floating again, protected inside. I hit myself, I bump into the walls, the borders of life, rumbling outside.
