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.

COMPOSINGS IV : R_C2, photographic volume, 2014/2016
3 digital photographs, black&white, 110x120cm ; 120x80cm ; 60x120cm. Acrylic print on transparent acrylic glass, stainless steel suspension + rails. Edition 1 + 1EA.
The photographic volume COMPOSINGS IV : R_C2 is formed of three photographs that were realized in Rome (Italy) according to a time of photographic observation equivalent to seventy-five minutes and distributed equally on each of the three parts. These photographs show three distinct areas of the same space, which were photographed at three different distances. Together, they reconstruct this space through their superposition enabled by the transparency of the image support and according to the point of view of each of them. The installation of COMPOSINGS IV : R_C2 is conceived to offer full mobility around the volume to have a plurality of angles of perception of the reconstructed space.
