In four movements, we travel - at rather sustained speed - successively through a tunnel in the Alps or on the A14 freeway, a cable-stayed bridge in Mumbai, the Dart River and a lagoon in New Zealand, dunes in the Persian Gulf ... Along the way, we come across car headlights on the A3 freeway, the lights of Roissy airport, wind turbines and clouds along the A10 freeway ... and a few digital drawings thrown in.
Reflections of sunlight or clouds, patches of various colors, cast shadows appear on the surface of the water ... Note that the pastel tones of the images at the very beginning and end of the second movement are such that they result from a real shot at dawn on Lake Huron in the United States, without any special digital processing.
A sequence based mainly on fixed compositions posted online in May 2024. Each composition appears in its complete version for one twenty-fourth of a second.
Back to the aquatic element with this sequence based almost exclusively on real shots, videos or photos: in no particular order, the salar d'Uyuni, a gutter on Rue Guynemer, the fountain at Place Saint-Sulpice, the basins at Doha airport, a lagoon in the Maldives, ports in the Persian Gulf, the Sillon dike in Saint-Malo, and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
A sequence based on the fixed compositions uploaded in September 2023. The material, very dark at the start, takes on some color in the last two movements.
A sequence obtained by digital processing of real shots. The images are processed to modify their appearance and merge them. However, it has not been possible to completely reduce the effects of camera instability during the shooting process.
first movement: almost entirely based on images of luminous drones flying in the night sky over the port of Abu Dhabi.
second movement: drone images are joined by images of birds flying over the port of Mumbai.
third movement: the birds are replaced by other drones, this time flying over Lake Lugano, along with a few other shots featuring clouds of dots.
Dunes in the desert around the Persian Gulf and, in the second movement, the elements of a digital composition presented in a recent article.
A whole set of parallel lines in motion, drawn in black and white or taken from real shots.
first movement: steps of the waterfall at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, fountains on the forecourt of the Burg Khalifa tower in Dubai, reflections of the lights in the port of Abu Dhabi, sands flowing from the dunes of Quatar,
second movement: cranes in Persian Gulf ports, refinery chimneys on the Detroit River, salt tracks on the Salar D'Uyuni,
third movement: tours of Persian Gulf cities,
fourth movement: reflections of Abu Dhabi harbour lights again, ski tracks in the snow at Megève.
