Honorable Mention
Atlantic wall - In the mist
Didier Fasensieux, France
Atlantic wall - In the mist
DESCRIPTION
These photograph belong to a series entitled "Atlantic wall". She offers a peaceful look at the remains of a tormented period in our history. The night melts into the day which prolongs it ...

The sky, the mist, the ocean, open to the delights of a diaphanous glow, offering a sensation of plenitude, where the softness and minimalism of the images, reveal the true reflection of feelings, overlooking a peaceful world with which I feel in harmony ...

"Oblivion is a gigantic ocean on which sails a single ship, which is memory". Amélie Nothomb.

The coastal battery of Capbreton, Aquitaine, France consisted of 4 casemates armed with 105 mm Schneider guns. This set represented a built volume of 880 cubic meters of concrete. Many shelters were scattered on the beach. The blockhouses are now submerged at each high tide.

I carry out series of portraits of musicians, dancers, actors, screenwriters… whom I meet during artistic events. I then try to develop images that are faithful to the perception I have of what they give me to see and transmit to me. Photography turns into an unsuspected architect of social ties that gradually tear me away from daily labor, opening wide the doors to artistic creation.

In 2019, I discovered the long exposure technique, and I venture on this ground, where time and light offer new spaces of freedom and inspiration. The large spaces that I love find their place here, in another dimension and under another light. The photographic creation generates new emotions, a feeling of plenitude, where the softness and minimalism of the images, reveal the true reflection of the feelings, opening on a peaceful world with which I feel in harmony ...
