“A few months ago, I bought a box of film rolls for peanuts in a second hand shop in the town of Calais. The whole thing being expired for twelve years was starting to be corroded by rust. So that nothing got lost, I’ve spent two summers on the Carnot breakwater, a long concrete-jetty of almost three kilometers overhanging the sea. I’ve photographed with a camera found in a local charity shop and then processed the films at home, mixing them with a bit of sea water. The result is this combination of walls of sea and humans of sand.” Book presentation text, May 2024.
