Puissance Foudre : a world with a touch of wonder
Apr 30, 2018 - Olivier Lovey
In my series « Puissance Foudre”, I was interested in Jacques Emery who is an electrician during the day. But during his free time, in his cellar, he makes multitudes of machines recreating lightning. Beyond the sci-fi background, it was the character of Jacques that fascinated me. I have often compared it to Prometheus. I quickly decided to focus on his creations rather than him. Then I used all the tools I had to increase the mystery and mysticism around him: the black and white, the long time exposure, the wide angle, the choice of particular motifs, the staging…
The result is a world with a touch of wonder.
