Architecture
Like a sherpa of the Himalayan mountains of North-Eastern Nepal, I survey, with my backpack, this decor of faces, walls, spiers, corridors, ridges.
Between these stone buildings and these glass towers, the architecture, a real time travel machine, guides my steps in the great book of history of our societies. Vertiginous is the experience of navigating through the centuries by the architectural movements that I see unfolding in my photographic camera.
Far from the rocky mountains, the landscape around me remains no less mountainous. An observation can be drawn: we remain microscopic and dominated by these constructions coming straight from our minds, by something bigger.
For total and complete immersion, I offer you some musical titles to capture the atmosphere of this journey:
Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft (1971)
Roy Hargrove - Strasbourg St. Denis (2007 New Morning Club)
