The Religious Dereliction series
Return to origins. The Religious Dereliction series reveals the looping trail of human faith. Of course, the splendour and lustre of yesteryear are gone, with ostentation having to give way to the nakedness of exposed structures. But these vestiges still show the essential: these bows bent towards the light of heaven, through windows or punctured roofs. No doubt, the substance has lived a little: but the spirit of the place is still there.
Le retour aux origines. La série Religious Dereliction révèle le parcours en boucle de la foi des hommes. Bien sûr, le faste et le lustre d'antan ont disparu, l'ostentatoire laissant involontairement place au dépouillement de structures mises à nu. Mais de ces vestiges subsiste l'essentiel : ces arcs tendus comme un élan vers la lumière des cieux, à travers les vitraux ou les crevés de toitures. Pas de doute, la matière a vécu mais l'esprit des lieux est toujours là.

The Castles Dereliction series
Rise and Fall. The Castles Dereliction series in all its diversity illustrates the downhill path of buildings that were once symbols of power and nobility. The ravages of time and human disrespect have often turned their show of strength into definite signs of weakness. Yet from this nostalgia for a bygone realm there floats a certain - although sometimes touching or pathetic - majesty.
Grandeur et décadence. La série Castles Dereliction illustre dans toute sa diversité le parcours en pente descendante d'édifices autrefois symboles de puissance et de noblesse. Les ravages du temps et l'irrespect des hommes ont souvent transformé cette manifestation de force en marques de faiblesse affirmées. Et pourtant, de cette nostalgie de règne passé surnage une certaine - bien que parfois attendrissante ou pathétique - majesté.

Moments from a life. The Residential Dereliction series magically transforms derelict places into stolen moments. The suspended life seems to open parentheses that time and nature contrive to close like as many instant atmospheres. But who could say no soul still inhabits these places?

The Industrial Dereliction series
The children of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Dereliction series seems to whistle the end of a game without a referee. Massive infrastructure plays a subtle double game between strong presence and transparency, as if wanting to apologise for still being there. Apparently unproductive and therefore useless, and swinging between nostalgia and hope. The announcement in chiaroscuro of a new day?
Les enfants de la Révolution Industrielle. La série Industrial Dereliction semble siffler la fin d'une partie sans arbitre. Les infrastructures massives jouent un double jeu subtil entre forte présence et transparence, comme si elles voulaient s'excuser d'être encore là. Apparemment inutiles car improductives et balançant entre nostalgie et espoir. L'annonciation en clair obscur d'un jour nouveau ?

The Educational Dereliction series
Schools without teachers. The Educational Dereliction series is a striking summary of places for knowledge doubly abandoned . Because the teachers have disappeared: the owners or teachers taking with them the rest of the human anthill. However, the vitality of the scenery does make you believe in the imminent return of the students. A question: is playtime over?
Ecoles sans maîtres. La série Educational Dereliction est un résumé saisissant de lieux du savoir doublement abandonnés. Car les maîtres ont disparu, propriétaire ou professeurs emportant avec eux le reste de la fourmilière humaine. Pourtant, la vitalité des décors fait croire à l'imminence du retour des élèves. Une interrogation : la récréation est-elle terminée ?

The Military Dereliction series
The war is over. The Military Dereliction series makes us want to believe in a double and beautiful illusion. The irretrievable loss of the fighter, the soldier from the shadows who has wisely deserted these places. But also the eternal pacifism and rehabilitation of buildings finally out of the ranks. In a series of clichés which - like them - refuse to obey any orders, even secret ones. Like the mood of a stale medical secrecy that is still maintained at its discretion.
La guerre est terminée. La série Military Dereliction nous donne envie de croire à une double et belle illusion. Celle de la disparition irrémédiable du combattant, soldat de l'ombre qui a sagement déserté les lieux. Mais aussi celle du pacifisme éternel et de la réhabilitation de bâtiments enfin hors hiérarchie. Dans une série de clichés qui - comme eux - refusent d'obéir à un quelconque ordre, même secret.
