The table is split between the inside and the outside, playing with the boundaries of public spaces and questioning social interactions and relationships in New York.

When two persons sit at the split table, they can decide to look at each other or chose to look at their own reflection; confronting the fact that we are becoming more and more self-absorbed and sometimes the presence of the other is simply here to validate our own existence. When sitting alone, the viewer will face an empty table and his reflection in the glass as a reminder to introspection, narcissism or loneliness.

“Table For Two” can be seen as a metaphor of social interactions and relationships in large cities such as New York where people can be together and very close but also alone and disconnected at the same time.

"The Dark City project is based on two series, "Possible Worlds" and "Reality show”, each achieved using very different techniques: an analogue technique, using a Polaroid, and a digital technique, using image manipulation. These techniques are often seen as being at odds with one other, with the one being viewed as more objective - a mirror of reality, and the other as being more ambiguous and ephemeral; however this work reveals them to be two sides of the same coin.
Wooden models are made real through a heavy-handed manipulation and, at the same time, they are laid bare by a snapshot.
I like to address the issue of reality, questioning our own senses, working on the boundary between the real and the unreal, that dream-like area where nothing is as it seems, where certainties vanish and definitions change their meaning. 
I believe that one of an artist’s tasks is to drive our convictions and beliefs to the extreme, to put them "under stress" and to see if they can withstand this collision. If they do, it means that they have sound foundations, but if they don’t, they probably need to be reviewed and redefined.
In this work, "material" aspects relating to the physical construction of the city coexist alongside traditional studio photographic techniques and digital manipulation techniques. Consequently, both series show us a different point of view, but with a common denominator.
Dark City is disturbing, just as disturbing as losing touch with reality, when differences emerge quickly, points of reference collapse in on themselves, and the certainty of doubt is all that remains."

L'étoile montante de Patrick Joust. De la photographie presque banale, en tout cas des scènes et cadres tout à fait ordinaire, qui transmettent pourtant une sensation à la limite du mystique. C'est une ambiance urbaine quasiment sinistre, hantée par des fantômes, illusions créées par la lumière des néons. Bref ça me plaît.


















Il a beaucoup beaucoup de photos donc je conseille vivement de visiter son site.

Je passe mon temps à courir. Après qui, après quoi, j'en sais rien. Mes semaines ressemblent à une séance de tapis de course, bien souvent. Je prends pas le temps de poster au jour le jour et du coup j'accumule plein de choses chouettes dans ma barre de favoris. Ouais, j'ai même pas de dossier attritré, c'est dire à quel point j'ai laissé les choses à l'abandon.

Ca y est, j'en suis à un mois de photos sur Flickr.
Pourvu que ça dure...
