My photography is based on the idea that reality is an ambivalent structure, a mental frontier between things. An undefined border separating concrete and elusive fields, materiality and the invisible. It's also a way to describe in a poetical way, our soul's inner struggle between peace and animality, between light and darkness.
One of the titles of Stephane C. s photograph display describes a pathway into an ambiguous world. One could imagine this cycle has no beginning and no end. No matter where he is or what he does, Stephane C. is engaged in the haunting gesture that is photography. His goal is to extract the veil of uncertainty from things. As if the sum of appearances would show of the world only a fragmented and vague vision. Forever vibrant, alive. While these images do not reveal another world, (it is definitely ours) the photographer attempts to bring its wounds and wrenches out in the open with touching sincerity. An extreme attempt to match, from a photographic point of view, real life with its double. As if hoping to turn day into night.
