A word about the work
Photograph produced during the International University Meet in Noisy-le-Grand, France in November 1994.
The series was commissioned as part of a cultural assignment by the Seine Saint-Denis council for a 4m x 3m poster advertising the 5th ESIEF trophy.
I discovered this sport here, the atmosphere, the lunges. At this point I was almost under them, nearly lying on the piste at the risk of being trampled or even empaled. I couldn’t stay there for very long.
Jean-Denis’s choice
The masks are like cosmonaut helmets, the idea of constellations is produced by the small lights on the ceiling. This image can take you to far away places.
NB : The Fine Blades series (3 photographs can be seen on the photographer’s page of the gallery website) is also available as a tryptich with an edition of 3 copies.
