The world, as the philosopher Edmund Husserl taught us, is born from a "subjective performance," from an uninterrupted flow of consciousness, from a donation of meaning. Let a bout of weariness occur, a drop in vitality, and the vast whole, to build which we work tirelessly and ceaselessly, falls apart. Only a detail remains.

Industrial wastelands contain many of these fossils favored by Pierre Bergounioux: heavy, dense, metal pieces, machined ironwork... With his taut prose as a protean instrument, he acts as an archivist to classify or as a paleontologist of alloys to probe the thickness of time. Here, he responds to the earth-filled images of Joël Leick, photographic imprints.
