COMPOSINGS (2010/--) is a protean project exploring the urban space through the presence and the mobility of bodies in a delimited time. Begun in 2010, it is still conducted, in all its successive versions, by the same artistic protocol, via the photographic medium. This protocol combines a process of extraction of bodies by refraction of light, at the zenith of the sun and with time scales defined by the type of flows of bodies, with a process of accumulation of bodies by the plurality of my shots and the process of superposition of images. From this protocol, I compose with the co-presence in order to (re)construct spaces in a relation of inscription / revelation, also understood as time manipulation. The issue of COMPOSINGS is situated on a political and social level when I question the contemporary organization of our spaces that the search of a bodies traffic fluidity influences, when my photographic point of view, from the top and directed toward the ground, echoes the point of view of certain surveillance tools which record, with the image, our reality, when I create and exploit data in their signs function. From another angle, artistic and sensitive, COMPOSINGS offers new modes of space perception and understanding.
