Here, Arnaud Claass continues his reflections on the art of observation and subjects the exercise of the gaze to the test of words. He comments on his perceptions throughout daily life but also confronts a number of historical and contemporary works.
For photographers, true visual and mental openness to the incessant flow of appearances is a form of fervor. As for the viewer of the images, it is up to him to look at them with the same intensity, listening to his deepest self.
Whether it's taking photographs or contemplating those of others, it's a celebration of the world, in all its contradictions.
In his Cartier-Bresson Meditations, Arnaud Claass reflects on the influence he had in his youth when he discovered the French photographer, and then on his admiration for him, which never wavered but was subjected to close scrutiny over the years. In these recent notes, he challenges many preconceived ideas about this seminal work.
