这部作品是对我们眼前逐渐消失的事物的颂歌:森林正在大规模、不可逆转地消失,因为气候变化的原因,也因为农业食品工业或同样工业化的种植业(如大豆、棕榈油、桉树和松树)所导致的大规模砍伐。
想象一台相机是一支画笔:它成为思想的延伸,感知的画笔,用来描绘饱和而充满生命力的森林。它将每棵树化作一道光线,将每片阴影转化为梦幻般的光辉。摄影师通过操控光线,创造出强烈的对比,饱和的色调,模糊的形态。在这些作品中,模糊与运动并非单纯的静观,而是像从离去的生态系统中偷得的一吻,每一幅影像都低声吟诵那首波德莱尔式的诗句:“你凝视的,请记住这一切终将逝去……”
这部作品通过光影的语言,唤醒人们对森林消逝的关注与沉思,同时将视觉艺术化为对自然深情的告别。


This work is an ode to what is disappearing before our eyes: forests are disappearing, massively, inexorably, for climatic reasons, but also under the constraint of massive deforestation for the benefit of the agri-food industry, or plantations no less indutrial, soy, palm oil, eucalyptus, pine. Imagine a camera as a paintbrush: it becomes an extension of the mind, the brush of feeling to paint forests, saturated and vibrant. It transforms every tree into a line of light, every shadow into a dreamy glow. He manipulates light to create powerful contrasts, saturate hues, blur shapes, where blur and movement, far from simple contemplation, are like a kiss stolen from a departing ecosystem, where each image whispers that Baudelairean poem: “You who contemplate, remember that all this fades away…”.

我的摄影作品大多通过聚焦重大社会议题来探索当代世界。我倾向于以多角度的方式长期开展项目,例如拍摄自闭症者(我已经拍摄了30年),移民,无家可归者,临终关怀者,城市变装皇后的生活,工人阶级以及郊区的社区生活等主题。
通过深入观察和多年的积累,我试图揭示这些议题中的复杂性与人性的细节,呈现一个充满挑战但富有深度的社会画面。
Most of the time, my photographs explore the contemporary world through major social issues. I develop my projects over time, approaching them from several angles. Autism, which I’ve been photographing for 30 years, migrants, the homeless, palliative care, the life of drag queens in the provinces, the working class, community life in the suburbs…
