Dim time
© Geoffroy Demarquet |
His photography is the enigma of time and the essence of the movement. He captures that movement aware of their subjectivity, as valid as any other, but full of talent to make the light draw in his work what he seeks to show, that is that life is fleeting and that the moment captured is just a point of view or maybe just a dream so the present as life itself, is of a colour that will never be reproduced.
What is the light for you?
Light is a tool to highlight the evidence. It draws what we want to show. It is the lead actor of the act.
What is your path to discovery?
The way I take is often random or reflected, being fortuitous. The beautiful ideas appear sometimes in unexpected ways ...
Do you want to create new realities?
At all is an objective of my work. But who is trying, and get it perfectly.
What do you think of death?
It may be a vacuum, or fullness, or verily a release ... I try not to think about it ... It's a disturbing thought, but mostly in vain.
What about loneliness?
Loneliness sometimes allows us to focus, is very useful. But the interest of life lies in the exchange.
Can we see your portrait in your work?
Maybe ... I think every work of art has the print of the trace of the author, if his conduct is upright.
If I speak of chiaroscuro, what situation would you want to photograph?
Diverse personalities.
How do you feel in front a still image?
Inmovility, sometimes it’s the decisive moment... It’s a subjective cut from reality, or simply a memory or a dream.
Cold colours are most common in your photos. Where's the heat?
In my house the colour fades to emphasize the past tense, usury, the "past". The colour is strong at present.
All we have is love?
?
And time continues to flow while vanity takes over our fear of a future that does not exist, and it won’t. His pictures, however, are here to be experienced but you will never know what Geoffroy Demarquet really wanted to express in them because everything is an individual experience, his work also, but yes, full of sensitivity.
