The subject is "In the intimacy of creation", a few days in the Seychelles, before the birth of my son, when the journey of shaping a new life changes your perception of the world.

 

The golden silk orb-weaver red-legged Nephila native to the Seychelles island hangs in the blue, entangled to all that is. The simple but spectacular female specimen lives in high humidity areas, shows a significant dimorphism with the male, and gets its name from the quality of its web. 

 

This, and some other keys to the reading:

 

- the dull sound of rain on corrugated iron; there are sounds everywhere and smells too

- of the the dynamics of the water element, substance of the universe

- of the four kingdoms of the living and the masculine and feminine principle

- TIME: linear circular, inclined, suspended, sacredly connected to space. The very single vibration that triggers the following cascading effects; indeed, the round, the circle, the orb; again there is no beginning no end

- multiple entries and exits as well as different plans of reading

- the domino game is a matching game 

- something in the roundness, there are potential rotations, inversions here

- technical data: scanned 35mm color film, a gentle cleaning if necessary

- 20 images of their own, in pairs (domino) or in threes upon the viewer - I have a tenderness for the energy of numbers

- imagine large formats woven in the gold of the web of the Nephila!
