« Le visage »

The photograph was produced during a photographic immersion that lasted several months in the CERCO (center for restoration and curating of collection works of the Arlaten museum). A took a specific look at the works stored in the stocks, waiting to be restored and then displayed. The series of photographs deals with the treatment of the items, of the works associated with numerous materials, plastics or foams. This relation produces new visual shapes that invite to the challenge of identifying the items, just as the dressings in this photograph that are utilized to preserve the painting.
