LÉON A RASÉ C ÉSAR À NOËL

2022

Planches Contact, Deauville
Artist residency in Deauville with Laura Serani, selected by the Photo4food Foundation.

“Tchouang-tseu dreams he is a butterfly, but is it not the butterfly who dreams he is Tchouang-tseu?”
Les Fleurs bleues, Raymond Queneau

Léon a rasé César à Noël explores personal sensations and questions through a journey across Haute-Normandie, inspired by surrealist dreams. Weaving together two parallel narratives, the images oscillate between magic and reality, creating visual enigmas that reflect a state of searching and a loss of meaning.

The title, a palindrome, symbolises cycles, returns to the self and unexpected encounters, inviting us to explore the world from multiple, sometimes contradictory, perspectives.
