I then scan and store them in transparent sleeves. It&#8217;s a slow and methodical <strong>ritual<\/strong>, which culminates in the ever renewed <strong>surprise<\/strong> to discover the shots&#8217; details on\u00a0my computer monitor. I don&#8217;t make\u00a0analog prints anymore, I am a lover of <strong>hybrid<\/strong> techniques: I shoot\u00a0on\u00a0film because the process, <strong>slow<\/strong> and <strong>thoughtful<\/strong>, is useful to me. I print\u00a0digital because it gives me more <strong>creative freedom<\/strong>. I hate religions, I pursue my <strong>visions<\/strong>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At age 45 I finally realised that my true calling is <strong>integration<\/strong>, in the broadest sense of the term. <strong>Connecting<\/strong>, crossing different <strong>languages<\/strong> and <strong>protocols<\/strong> together,\u00a0that&#8217;s what\u00a0I do as\u00a0a computer scientist, as a photographer and in my private\u00a0life. I like to <strong>clamp<\/strong>\u00a0things and people together, no matter how <strong>different<\/strong> they are. The operation leads to a result which is\u00a0<strong>superior to the sum<\/strong> of the addends. It remains curious however &#8211; or perhaps symptomatic &#8211; that\u00a0a\u00a0person like me, who doesn&#8217;t like sociality that\u00a0much, devotes himself to the interaction between\u00a0&#8220;others&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>After the ordinary\u00a0ritual my <strong>eye<\/strong> falls on the film <strong>scraps<\/strong>, the\u00a0<strong>discarded cuts<\/strong>\u00a0lying on the table. Sometimes sparse, sometimes overlapping, they are like thinned hair over\u00a0the barbershop&#8217;s floor. I tilt my head left and right and start looking at\u00a0their transparencies, aligning and decomposing, combining and breaking the mental geometries.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>vision<\/strong>\u00a0arises like the <strong>sun at dawn<\/strong>, and the <strong>mystery<\/strong>\u00a0repeats: out of\u00a0<strong>darkness<\/strong> comes the <strong>light<\/strong>. This is the moment I love the best: the <strong>birth<\/strong> of an <strong>idea<\/strong>, so <strong>ephemeral<\/strong> and <strong>powerful<\/strong> at the same time. Like\u00a0the very instant I\u00a0fall asleep, I can never catch and crystallise it\u00a0in its entirety. It remains a blurred, underexposed, and\u00a0<strong>dodged<\/strong>\u00a0photograph.<\/p>\n<p>I gather\u00a0the film\u00a0cuts, turn the light table\u00a0on and start to work. And I soon realise that film remains always <strong>coherent<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0itself. Its manipulation takes <strong>time<\/strong>, concentration and <strong>reflection<\/strong>. The process for me is always the same: the composition is instinctive, the alignment is slow and methodical. Then I suddenly stab the insistency of my formal rigor. &#8220;Those are <strong>real world<\/strong> objects.&#8221;,\u00a0I\u00a0reproach, &#8220;Let them have\u00a0their <strong>imperfection<\/strong>, it is their <strong>best quality<\/strong>!&#8221;. I stop myself, the game is done, <em>rien ne va plus<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>So comes up\u00a0this\u00a0small <strong>tribute<\/strong> to photographic film which, led\u00a0to another level, also becomes a <strong>tribute to the last<\/strong>. Scraps, clippings destined to be\u00a0thrown\u00a0away turn into a\u00a0<strong>photography artwork<\/strong>. I know I&#8217;m\u00a0neither the first nor the last to have had this <strong>intuition<\/strong>. But <strong>feeling<\/strong>\u00a0it inside, <strong>living and understanding<\/strong> it deeply is very different from distractedly observing a book or an exhibition. This small <strong>experience<\/strong> will increase my <strong>awareness<\/strong> of\u00a0photography and world. And that&#8217;s what counts.<\/p>\n<p>By the way,\u00a0now I&#8217;m not able to throw the clippings\u00a0away anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m\u00a0cutting as usual the strips of black-and-white photographic film developed yesterday.
