My work explores not only the way we inhabit urban space but also the relation we entertain with a town and its territory. Night is a special moment where I experience a different urban time zone: empty streets open to contemplation, lighting that stages urban spaces.
Since Arles cannot be dissociated from its history and from its cultural heritage, this photograph is intended to bring to the fore a key site of this heritage preservation that inspired the best artists, while attempting to display a building the contemporary architecture of which boasts a radical aesthetic rupture with the pieces it shelters.
