Médaille d'argent dans la catégorie « Documentaire »
This is a body of work that has gestated over a long period of time. When I was young I used to observe my surroundings, noticing the minute details everyone overlooked.
It was only much later when I finally picked up a camera I began to record those details religiously. Having given photography a great deal of thought over the years, I considered the fact that we tend to take photographs of important events in our lives. However I have always been more fascinated by the unimportant and the obscure fleeting moments. I later came across the word Lacuna from watching a TV show, and I looked up its meaning; Lacuna is a Latin word for gap or hole and is used in a variety of contexts including memory. When I first started photography I just shot things I liked or drew my attention, sometimes not even knowing why I took the photo. Now years later, now working on long-term projects I wanted to return to the beginning, taking photos for the sheer joy of it and unencumbered by the need to capture something specific.
