Présentation

I am showing the process and result of a gesture, in order to better show its disappearance.
Photography is used here with the unique purpose of showing what « has been ».

In engraving, a condition test is a print taken from a plate to judge the progress of your work. To see where we are.
After that, once the plate is ready again, we add black. And we start again. Until the end. Which end? Where does it end? Maybe it was already over before?

As I did in engraving, I add black in my photographic work.
I add black, as life does.
