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 greater freedom of interpretation. All of them are invited to make proposals if wished, while respecting a constraint: that the title should be one word to be most accurately translated into the language of the country in which the parallel photo has been taken.
