Descending a staircase :
In
his painting “Nude descending a staircase #2” (1912), Marcel
Duchamp represents a moving person. The artist’s single eye is
fixed. My photographs reverse this experiment rather by trying
to see what this character would perceive in his descent. My
photos from the series “Descending the staircase” are the
results of the superposition of many shots from various
staircase levels.
Multiple points of view perspective, fragmented, the results is
known only when the images are superposed. They are studies of
forms confusion from movement and time compression.
