Dreaming around

Artist statement

I recently started this series in August 2009. I’m still not sure of when this project will end and if it will ever have an ending.

I always found it tough to document my travels and holidays, I was trying to oblige myself to go out with a camera and take pictures of what I was seeing, but it didn’t felt right, it wasn’t me.
At the same time I wanted and had to find my own coherent way to document.

The first image of this series was taken in Villeneuve-Loubet, south of France: just me waking up by the sea. I woke up early that day and took that picture because I thought it would have been an idyllic way to get up every morning.
Afterwards I realized that it could be my way of documenting the travels I was making: a recapitulation of where and what and how I was feeling.

This series of images will represent me sleeping wherever the journey takes me to. It will speed up sometimes and slow down some others depending on how much I will be able to travel.
