Quand vient la nuit
Saetta Books, Paris — 2025
The story of this book begins where the day ends: when night falls. It is the story of a headlong rush, far from the daytime world and its harsh, singular, zenithal light. For at dusk, light sources multiply: stars and artificial lights transform space and time. So he plunges into this murky water, which first welcomes him and then calls him, absorbed by this dark energy that flows through him and transforms him. He doesn't know it yet, but he is now embarking on a journey that will last seven years. A journey to the end of the night, intense and initiatory, during which he will seek love in all the noises of the world, tracking down fragments of reality in the realm of dreams and masks. But the night, full of promise, always gives way to dawn. And ultimately, it is photography itself, the art of writing with light, that will enable him to emerge from the darkness.
