Project in collaboration with the Department of Côtes d'Armor, the Franco-Polish Center of Olsztyn and Erasmus+
How do we inhabit the landscape? How do we live our daily life ?
This work of photographic research is the way to apprehend the sensitive in a poetic way. It is a question of questioning the notion of space, territory and border confronted with that of the body, the spirit and the intimate. In a place that moves and transforms, the forest and the bodies are shaped by time and the natural elements.
Through photography, I share my contemplation of the forest of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in Poland, and merge it with the inhabitants, so as to become one with the environment. To camouflage is to disappear a little. Projecting yourself as a landscape is like embodying Hopi thought (Native American tribe, on the Navajo reservation in the American West), becoming the setting, changing the state of internal data to that of a corresponding external reality. Objectivize your thought, through places and atmospheres.
Blending into the decor, camouflage, it is also an ecological message. Thus, I work around the idea of camouflage, which also joins the idea of combat. A fight whose objective would be to preserve nature and live there in harmony. Ecology has become a major concern in our societies. This photographic hybridization merges the inhabitants of Stare Jablonki with their forest. We are nature, it shapes us, pierces us. Through this exhibition, I question the relationship of humans to their natural and also cultural environment. I stage this relationship, our intimate relationship to our interior landscape facing that of the exterior.
Thanks to meetings with the inhabitants of Stare Jabłonki, I have created photographic images that I want to be poetic and metaphorical, touching the subconscious, and which echo ecofeminism.
