Spectrum

Photography, often , scares me ... It is for me intimately linked to the death, which was - it's basically a very mysterious affair, both for what or who is pictured as looking for me. I believe in ghosts, the shock spectra of these returning to haunt us. Andre Bazin, in What film? , remember that photography as fine art can "(...) satisfy a basic need of human psychology: defense against time. Death is the victory of time. Artificially set carnal appearance of being is to wrest the river of time: the secure life. " Embalming photograph is nothing the matter that is taken is "being saved by the appearance." So yes, the picture has something of the spectrum, in that it is frightening appearance of a death it is not necessary, moreover, that the subject has really gone - but the picture will be more spectral if death done its work. The story 93, " Forenames in the timeline (a tribute to Don Mario, my neighbor Almagro, recently deceased), closes with a photo of Mario, seized on the bright , back from shopping. These names show in the timeline in the finite, the final stage in the intimacy of emotional complicity. That is also the picture in these stories, a practice commonplace in everyday life. We photograph those we love, simply, not to forget them, to say, when it triggers, they intend for us to have pleasure in finding this pleasure he was tainted sadness, nostalgia. The title of the story 71, "Fighting with the shadows," can also illustrate this tension that generates the photographic act. The enemy is the shadow in all the symbolic meanings they wish to grant. Fight against space and time: The subject radiates light which is then recorded (numérisée. ..). Through the light I can see this light: that of a distant planet in time and space. That would be also spectrum of stories within the meaning of scope on the viewer (but should be back on the experience of the photographer himself , author and spectator of her photograph.) Photographs radiate long after they were taken, an effective long term, in time and space.
