During the measured countdown of the timer release, the body rushes forward, dizzying.

 

The wall that structures the photographed space tries to square it.

 

Emerging from the front, from the side, it slips towards the in-between where the forms fade away.

 

Weakened by its nudity, the body adopts a dimension at the same time derisory and tragic;

 

that of the fluidity of a body become figure.

 

Figure, trying to free itself beyond the appearance in a movement of coming and going,

 

of simultaneous appearance-disappearance.

 

Figure still, crossed by its desire to feel the duration and the feeling of the life.

 

Figure finally, which in a final offensive, delivers to the other a singular call, left in suspense...

 

So much the impulse of the one who risks remains elusive.

 

Pascal Bertrand
