A Forest

Come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
Come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes…

A Forest – The Cure

A dream, a forest, a girl who remains forever elusive. Darkness, trees, mystery. These are the elements of this series, the result of a work on the woods and of an artist’s residency. The guiding thread is the search for mysterious “situations”, for a surreal atmosphere. I wanted to immerse myself in the enigmatic world of the forest and capture all its strangeness. To do so, I created staged scenes with “characters”: I used my models as actors on a set, while still leaving them room for improvisation.

The series A Forest has been exhibited at the Galérie le 29 in Paris, during Les Rencontres photographiques du 10ème Festival in 2011.
