Idea
April 2017.
-
The idea came from these 2 photos.
-
Back from a trip to the Middle East, I have a feeling of "déjà-vu" when looking at the photos I made over there: I have already taken a very similar snapshot (to Tel Aviv 2017 - here right).
-
I search my archives and find this photo (Landunvez 2011 - here left) taken in Brittany 6 years earlier. Similarities are obvious.
-
I start a research project and put together several clichés.
-
Each parallel = 2 photos.
Goals
-
Compare, create a bond, value an energy, a strength
-
Bringing people together, situations that cross paths
-
Invite a different look, perceive these moments from another perspective
-
Highlighting similarities despite differences
-
Creating a cross-cultural, cross-generational, cross- temporal mirror
Note
Dates and places of shooting are mentioned for each photo. The lack of titles is voluntary to allow visitors a greater freedom of interpretation. All of them are invited to make proposals if wished, while respecting a constraint: the title should be one word only, in order to be most accurately translated into the languages of the 2 countries in which the parallel photo has been taken.
