My "Variations of Light" are an interrogation on life and its close link to light.

Light fascinates me with the duality of its state, both wave and corpuscular, but also for everything that makes it, our perception of the world.

My "Variations of light" classified by opus, decline images which are born from the observation of the world and which reveal, a posteriori, the gap of perception between the photographed reality and the photographic recording.

It is this gap between our observation and our perception of the universe that I like to develop through the image to highlight our myopia of which we are victims when we perceive our near or distant environment. But is it not this which makes Being in its multiple character?

The medium of photography is particularly suitable for this study since the photons which strike my negative, themselves materialized by impact points, describe during the shooting phase, the corpuscular character of the light. But this matter, used as a plastic tool, then comes to underline the undulatory character of the light when one notes that these impacts on the negative have become an oscillation on the paper. It borns then a photographic writing which was captured by the observation of a point of the universe recorded at a moment T of its expansion.

Light also fascinates me in that it succeeds a state of amalgamation of undifferentiated, chaotic and invisible matter. A state of nothingness which is characterized for our eye by the color black and which could be an allusion to the quantum vacuum or to the black holes of the universe.

This nothingness, characterized by the iridescence and the density of an evanescent matter emerging from my photographic blacks, is for me the invisible memory which swarms, like a latent energy, in space-time, in a way the alphabet of cosmos, the one from which suddenly the cosmic writing is born in my photography.

Moreover, how can we not use the term “photography” as well as my photographic writing if we know that the word “photography” is nothing other than “writing”, writing and “photo”, photon ( in Greek, meaning "light") but also, elementary particle (quantum or boson) of light.
