When I’ll be young
As a child, I often said to my father, “When I will be young, I’ll be able to do this and that,” a paradoxical phrase, since I was already very young. But in my imagination, it meant a form of freedom that I associated with teenagers and adults: driving, hanging out, drinking wine, living without constraints, and so on. By photographing those close to me, I document my generation as well as the bonds that form over time and across different stages of life. By placing photographs of my family and my friends side by side, I seek to convey this back-and-forth between naivety and lucidity, as an attempt to hold on to what is passing and to understand what is to come.
