L’Archipel
The project presented to InCadaqués is titled "L'Archipel". Using both the materiality of the photographic tool and its more digital form, L'Archipel offers a dialogue between the representation of the exoticism of the trip and the sensory experience itself through the other. As we progress through the narrative, the conversation becomes a ghostly quest, an experience in which one is lost, where the distance of observation is reduced at the expense of the proximity of a relationship in dialogue.
This project can be considered as an anthropological approach to the relational construction from signs and forces that transcend it in the projection of the other. By intertwining the narrative threads belonging to various temporalities, this story puts on an equal footing the symbiotic relationships that are woven between coexisting entities in the love dialogue, taking into account the relationship that each leads to the discovery of the Ego evoked. by Depardon. Elea Jeanne and Le Massi offer us ways of imagining an exploration of the other and questioning the notion of legitimacy and its implication in their personal development.
