Séquence

43 black-and-white photographs

Without constructing an explicit narrative, these images move through a fragile territory where perception slowly drifts between reality, memory and mental disorientation. The series emerged from the intimate experience of my father’s Alzheimer’s disease — from the way he would weave fragments of memory into immediate reality, allowing different times, places and situations to coexist beyond any stable logic.

The photographs do not attempt to document the illness itself. Rather, they seek to approach its inner movement: a world where connections shift constantly, where certain details acquire an unsettling intensity, where some presences become diffuse while others emerge with almost painful clarity.

The gaze remains deliberately fragmentary and displaced. The images function like apparitions: isolated figures, suspended gestures, passing landscapes, street scenes, faces, lights, textures and empty spaces. At times they seem to belong to a possible narrative, yet that narrative never fully settles. Something resists coherence, much like memory itself when it begins to fracture.

The black and white imagery reinforces this sense of temporal uncertainty. It gathers the photographs into a shared sensitive material suspended somewhere between remembrance, dream and disappearance.

As often in my work, what matters is not only what the photographs depict, but the invisible relationships they establish between one another. Gaps, repetitions, resonances and ruptures create a form of mental montage in which fragments of reality still persist amid confusion.

Séquence was presented in 2014 at Éditions Cent Pages and was published as an artist’s book available by order.
