Mer Rose – Pink Sea, Maui, 2023

Devant la mer devenue rose, peu de temps après la tragédie, alors que l’incendie qui a ravagé la ville de Lahaina est à peine éteint, je pense à cette phrase extraite du poème de Etel Ednan, Time : “sometimes I regret my love of splendor”. Ce n’est peut-être pas l’amour des choses splendides qui me hante, mais le désir d’apprivoiser les fantômes.

In front of the sea, which has turned pink, shortly after the tragedy, when the fire that ravaged the town of Lahaina has barely been extinguished, I think of this phrase from Etel Ednan’s poem Time: ‘sometimes I regret my love of splendor’. Perhaps it’s not the love of splendid things that haunts me, but the desire to tame ghosts.

Postcard

Postcard – Forte dei Marmi, Italy, May 2024.

No doubt it was necessary for the whole world, for not a single part of our world to be representable for me to have the idea of ​​making a postcard. There was there, in this unique moment, a semblance of peace, of plenitude, without anyone, and at the same time a theatricality reduced to beach deckchairs representing the human horde. In front of these empty beach chairs, I wondered how many of us would still be alive this summer of 2024. So, on the back of the postcard I would have written: “Dear sky, dear mountains, dear sea, thank you for still offering us your landscape as the world burns and humanity shrinks. I am now sky, mountains, sea, sand and belong to you”.
