It is like a presentiment: these self-portraits mixed with the earth, the bark, the stone prefigure a return to the original clay, the undifferentiated. I did not consciously know that I was in danger of death, but my hidden artist manifested himself urgently, pressingly and repeatedly. Nevertheless, I had not grasped the meaning of these pictures.
Now I know.
Henceforth I am labeled a cardiac, whereas I imagined myself equipped with perfectly functional arteries.
Illusion of self, ignorance of the messages contained in my photos.
And now ?
I continue the series of photos, but the stake has changed, of course: there is no more urgency. I mark a pause to reflect: does the photo become the perfect sythesis of my work of collage to the point of substituting for it? No, because collage offers more extensive possibilities by bringing the images of the vast, changing world into a continuous stream. With the photo, I focus on myself and my close environment, it is as if I took a magnifying glass to better see what evades the usual vision. This brings me a new and more intimate way of approaching the work of creation.

It may be objected that these are only selfies, sacrificing to the general tendency to put oneself on the stage to exist by being visible. Yes, of course, but I do not seek to "produce" myself to be seen by others. I want to understand the incomprehensible: the slow degradation of myself, the descent into nothingness or rather the dissolution in the whole. Hence the very diverse images where my face disappears in a landscape, a manufactured object or a detail glimpsed during a walk.

 

 

C’est comme un pressentiment : ces auto-portraits mélangés à la terre, à l’écorce, à la pierre préfigurent un retour à la glaise originelle, à l’indifférencié. Je ne savais pas consciemment que j’étais en danger de mort, mais mon artiste caché s’est manifesté de manière urgente, pressante et répétée. Néanmoins, je n’avais pas saisi toute la signification de ces photos.

Maintenant, je sais.

Dorénavant je suis étiqueté cardiaque, alors que je m’imaginais doté d’artères parfaitement fonctionnelles.

Illusion de soi, ignorance des messages contenus dans mes photos.

Et maintenant ?

Je poursuis la série de photos, mais l’enjeu a changé, bien sûr : il n’y a plus urgence. Je marque un temps d’arrêt pour réfléchir : la photo devient-elle la sythèse parfaite de mon travail de collage au point de s’y substituer ?  Non, car le collage offre des possibiités plus étendues en apportant dans mon espace de travail restreint les images du  vaste monde changeant, en un flot continu. Avec la photo, je me focalise sur moi-même et mon environnement proche, c’est comme si je prenais une loupe pour mieux voir ce qui se dérobe à la vision habituelle. Cela m’apporte une nouvelle manière plus intime d’approcher le travail de création.

 

On pourrait objecter qu’il ne s’agit que de selfies, sacrifiant à la tendance générale à se mettre sur le devant la scène pour exister en étant visible. Oui, bien sûr, mais je ne recherhe pas à me « produire » pour être vu des autres. Je veux comprendre l’incompréhensible : la lente dégradation de moi-même,  la descente vers le néant ou plutôt la dissolution dans le tout. D’où les images très diverses où mon visage disparaît dans un paysage, un objet manufacturé ou un détail entrevu lors d’une promenade.
