Solo marks a turning point in my work with the end of the Polaroid SX70 in 2008. I took advantage of this event to do technical experiments and I opted for digital photography: it allowed me to work differently on staging moving objects and capture more of the effects of chance.
However,
Solo is in many ways the continuation of what came before : the very dark skies present since
Landscapes (1992), the actors and the mysterious objects thrown from
Just This Once in 2002 and
Long Distance in 2007.
Here the objects suggest play areas with mysterious rules: they are tires, balls, balloons and large sticks and no longer flexible objects which in the previous photographs changed shape with the throws.
I am looking for images of a particular, unpredictable conjunction between the body, the object, the setting and the light.
